Transporter Role | Blacktail Deer Hunting

In Alaska, a hunting transporter is defined as an outfitter who specializes in transporting hunters, their equipment, and harvested game across the state’s diverse and challenging terrain. These individuals or companies provide logistical support such as transportation via boats, aircraft, or vehicles to remote hunting locations, ensuring hunters have access to prime hunting areas. Importantly, hunting transporters are distinct from hunting guides in that they do not directly participate in the hunting activities themselves, focusing instead on facilitating safe and legal transportation while adhering to Alaska’s wildlife regulations and conservation laws.

Wild Strawberry Lodge LLC is an equal opportunity service provider.

Wild Strawberry Lodge LLC operates under special use permit on the Tongass National Forest.

 Verified The BEST it does not get any better than the Wild Strawberry Lodge, hands down Wow, this was my 1st trip to Alaska and my 1st visit to the WSL and I am a huge fan. I can't wait to go back and have not stopped talking about my trip. I caught my 1st Halibut, ton's of Salmon and cool Rockfish. The scenery is breathtaking Alaska and Sitka are so wonderful. 5 Star's for ALL the staff, we had the best Captain and Mate I have never seen crew work so hard to make sure you had a blast. The Lodge staff again, 5 Star's, amazing food, great rooms and awesome company. Stress free, they pack, freeze and seal all your fish ready at the airport when you leave. I am already planning my next trip, see you soon WSL crew I am packing already. Misty

 Verified Woman Angler approved :) As a first time Alaska angler and a solo woman travel I had called several fishing lodges before picking wild strawberry lodge. It was an incredible experience. In a sport mostly run by men it was very intimidating but the crew made me feel very comfortable. Everyone was very nice and patient. The rooms were comfortable. If you’re coming be prepared for a trip of a life time. Will be going again soon.

 Verified Saltwater Fishing Mecca-Sitka My 3rd time visiting the Wild Strawberry Lodge in Sitka this past September. First time fishing with Captain Chad and deckhand Ben on the vessel Bankroll. Safety was priority 1 for Captain Chad. We faced some challenging fishing conditions due to weather, but at no time did it feel unsafe. Since there were only 2 of us in our group, but room for 6 on the boat, we fished with other groups each day on our 3 day package. Vessel was in top shape and very neat & tidy. Fishing equipment is some of the best I’ve used anywhere in Alaska. Captain Chad made incredible made to order sandwiches for lunch daily while on the boat. Theresa and her staff took care of everything at the lodge. If you want to explore Sitka or the surrounding area the lodge has vans to take you there and back. Our trip was much too short. Food was great, both on and off the water. Accommodations were very clean and comfortable in a relaxed atmosphere. Service was exceptional! Can’t wait to return.

 Verified AMAZING! I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to join my friends who have been coming here for the past 12 years, because I mean, lets be honest, its not a cheap trip! HOWEVER, it was SO WORTH IT! The Wild Strawberry Lodge and its staff are AMAZING! They absolutely take care of you from the moment you land till the moment you get back on the plane. The food was amazing, shuttle service to wherever you need to go, and they keep the place immaculately clean! The rooms are simple, but comfortable with comfortable beds and all the amenities you would need. The boat captains and deck hands go above and beyond to see to it that you have a great time. In the end, they clean, label, vacume seal your fish and box it up AND take care of the check in process when you are ready to depart. Sitka itself is beautiful with eagle sightings multiple times per day. We are already booking for next year!

 Verified Fishing Excellence Best trip to AK, everything was covered with meeting at airport, excellent staff great fishing and excellent accommodation. The organization of the lodge is by far the best I have encountered all of the world. From catering to all requests, to the food the atmosphere to the best captain and crew you could ask for. This place is in a great location walking distance to boat and shops and shuttle to and from lodge with your catch boxed and checked in for you at the airport. Phill AZ & NZ

 Verified GREAT Customer service, amazing food, and awesome fishing! Always a stellar experience where the customer service is the only thing better than the fishing. I really enjoy the delicious dinners of panko ling cod, prime rib, clam chowder, etc. I can’t wait to come back!

 Verified Will go again! An amazing family owned and operating lodge and fishing adventures. The food is amazing, the staff is warm and friendly. I didn’t fish and felt just as welcomed and cared for as those who fished. This was my first time, my husbands been 4 times. They take care of all the details…fishing gear provided, process and freeze fish for transporting home. Our last dinner we were given their cookbook. Just tonight I made the tuna zucchini cakes. Yummy!
