Alaska Mountain Goat Hunt 10068

This Alaska Mountain Goat hunt begins at an elevation of 3,000 feet above sea level. While all mountain hunts demand physical endurance, the added oxygen at this relatively lower altitude makes it somewhat more manageable compared to high-altitude hunts. The season starts in mid-September when the goats have grown their thick winter coats, making them even more striking trophies. Since 1996, this hunt has maintained an impressive 95% success rate. Notably, since 2001, ten goats taken here have made it into the Boone & Crockett record book.

Physically, this hunt can be especially challenging—particularly if you’re after a B&C-caliber billy. The terrain is rugged, and the days are long, but it’s exactly that effort that makes the reward so meaningful. Hunters operate from spike camps and must be ready to carry a backpack loaded with a rifle or bow, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and personal gear. Getting to the goats’ high-elevation is no small feat, but once you’re in their territory, mountain goats tend to be fairly approachable and huntable.

Beyond the goats, this hunt also offers potential opportunities for additional game. For a trophy fee, hunters may have the chance to pursue a black bear. Moose are also present in the area, but taking one requires drawing a specific tag. Whether you stick with goats or add more to your Alaskan adventure, this hunt promises a rugged, unforgettable backcountry experience.
