Description

British Columbia is home to over half of North America's current Mountain Goat population. According to recent estimates, the number of Mountain Goats in North America has varied from about 75,000 to 100,000. This number includes 14,000 to 15,000 in the western states, 10,000 to 25,000 in Alaska, about 50,000 in British Columbia, and small numbers in Alberta, Yukon, and Mackenzie Territory. This puts B.C. at the top when it comes to trophy-class mountain goat hunts. This hunting concession sits amongst the finest trophy producing units on the East Slope of B.C., having an abundance of goats with large bases and great length. The diverse ecosystem in the northeast region our area lays amongst provides the perfect mix of habitat and feed, allowing the outfitter to properly manage a healthy and stable population of mature billies for a very limited number of clients each season. This gives hunters a better chance of harvesting a mature billy. This is a 10 day fully guided 1:1 hunt.

              Description

              Goat hunting requires one to be in good shape and ready to hike through steep and rough terrain. All of these goat hunts require the use of horses or jet boat to access the different parts of the goat area. From there a hike into goat country is required. Depending on the area chosen to hunt, hunters can expect to be in anything from a cabin/wall tent to a 2 man tent fully stocked with freeze dried food for the duration of the hunt. Hunter can expect to be seeing mountain goats nearly every day depending on the weather, some days seeing in excess of 10+ goats. This hunt is the perfect choice for a hunter pursuing a 8 inch+ Billy with large bases and a chance to harvest a mature goat. Hunters wishing to avoid conflict with weather should choose the early August hunt while hunters wanting longer hair will need to come in September or October. This is a 10 day 1:1 hunt.
