Alaska Mountain Goat Hunting Season

September – October, upon a Federal Special Use Permit.

Hunting Method

Goats are typically glassed above the treeline from the saltwater (usually from a skiff), then a stalk is formulated. It is rough, rugged, absolutely beautiful terrain. A 3,500′ + vertical climb is required in some situations, so physical fitness and leg / knee strength are requirements for success.

Guiding

This is a 1×1, fully guided hunt.

Success Rates and Trophy Quality

Although this is a guaranteed “over-the-counter” tag, the mountain goat hunts in this unit are regulated by a limited quota registration so the hunter pressure is always low, which keeps the trophy quality high. Trophy mountain goats usually measure between 8.5″-10.5″ with some record book billies. These goats have hair quality that is unsurpassed anywhere in the country! Success rates have been at 100% most years.

Travel

Most hunters fly to Anchorage, Alaska and then catch a flight to Valdez where the outfitter will meet you for your hunt.

Transportation and Accommodations

Transportation and accommodations for these mountain goat hunts are vessel based. The outfitters’ 48 ft. vessel is used as camp. Sleeping arrangements are bunk style, and there is a shower on board. Hunting will be done from one of two 18 ft. skiffs.
