Mountain Goat Alaska

Southeast Alaska is a wet ecosystem which encompasses thick rainforest valleys and steep mountain peaks. The sheer beauty of this area is coupled with the abundance of bears, whales, shore birds, and trophy mountain goats. A backpack hunt in the Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness Area offers the perfect opportunity to experience high mountain goat hunting. A float plane will take you from Ketchikan to a high alpine lake where you will start your steep climb to a spike camp location.

The best weather generally occurs during August and early September, and generally deteriorates into increased rain, fog, and wind as the season progresses. The Mountain Goat's hair is noticeably shorter during the early season warmer weather. The white coats begin to thicken as the colder weather moves into southeast Alaska. Except for the early August hunts, the trophy Mountain Goat hunts are scheduled for 10+ hunting days. The hunt includes relocating to Prince of Wales Island for Sitka Blacktail, Black Bear, fishing and/or sightseeing if time permits after tagging your goat. Wolf and Wolverine can also be seen and hunted if the client has the appropriate license.
