Delta Airlines does fly into Ketchikan during the summer, but sometimes use smaller planes and are more prone to being unable to land due to weather. Alaska Airlines has a much larger presence in Ketchikan and is the preferred method.

The IFA ferry departs Ketchikan at 3:30 p.m. and takes three hours to arrive in Hollis. There are no amenities in Hollis. Reservations must be made in advance to secure a ride to the two largest communities of Klawock and Craig, just under an hour away. DJ’s Hollis Adventure Rentals is the best option to get across the island.

This is the most popular way as it saves a ton of time, which on short trips is at a premium. Island Air Express is the favorite among visitors and locals because the planes are faster than ordinary float planes. Island Air lands at the Klawock Airport. Taquan Air lands in Craig at the floatplane base.

This is no longer straightforward as deer population and hunting pressure concerns have led to decisions that impact non-Federally qualified (Alaska residents not from rural areas) and non-residents.

The season opens August 1, but for non-Federally qualified residents and non-residents, Federal Land (Tongass National Forest) is not open until after August 15. Most of the good habitat for alpine hunting is on Federal, or Private Land, so it is often best to wait until later in the month.
”Federal public lands on Prince of Wales Island, excluding the southeast portion (land south of the: West Arm of Cholmondeley Sound draining into Cholmondeley Sound or draining eastward into Clarence Strait), are closed to hunting of deer from Aug. 1 - Aug. 15, except by Federally qualified subsistence users hunting under these regulations.”

Federally-qualified residents can get 5 deer, one of which can be a doe, from July 24 - Dec. 31.

Here is a link to the Federal regulations that supersede state regulations.

SEALING IS REQUIRED

In the 1990s, Prince of Wales Island was filled with big bears, and a lot of them. I know this because I grew up there. News got out, and in addition to typical undulations with wildlife populations, there are not as many bears, but there are still plenty and they are plenty big. Both bears I have taken on Prince of Wales were 19 15/16 as I did not sort through many bears to attempt to take a trophy.
Sealing and salvaging requirements:
”Skull AND Hide or Skull AND Meat: In Units 1-7, the skull must be salvaged and removed from the field year round for sealing; during June 1-Dec 31, either the hide with claws attached (for sealing) or the meat must also be salvaged and removed from the field. If salvaging the meat, the hide and/or skull may not be transported from the field until the edible meat has been salvaged.”
