Mountain Goat Hunting
Mountain
goat hunts take place in unit 8, on Kodiak Island. Goats on Kodiak tend
to be harvested between 1800-2500 feet above sea-level. Hunters are welcome to
hunt Sitka black-tailed deer on a
trophy fee once their mountain goat has been
harvested. Be prepared to carry up to 60lbs into the hunting areas. Once in the
field, a light daypack will suffice unless camp needs to be moved. Versatility
is the key to success.
| "Jake hunts really hard and put forth the extra effort to get us in position
that enabled me to bag that goat of a lifetime. If you are going after goat,
bear or sheep - Jake is the guide you want!" Dan Gabriel |
For those who wish not to stay in spike tents during their hunt, local hotels
can accommodate them. Hunting would thenconsist of driving out to the field
each day and climbing up to goat country and returning each evening. Success
rate is very high, but a hunter's physical conditioning many
limit the success.
“I have hunted in five states and Africa with many different guides. We also guide elk, deer and bird hunts
in Oregon so with that experience I
say Jake is a true professional in every way, and a strong one! To
avoid having to track my goat through the willows, Jake tackled it
as it tumbled down the mountain and held it until I got over to him. Need I say more? Probably not. Big muscles, big mind, big heart,
and a great sense of humor. Jake is a fabulous guide, good man to
have around in a pinch and a great friend. I can't wait for the
next time, and hope Amber can come with! Thank you, Jake” Dara Smith OR |
According to Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologists, Kodiak's
mountain
goats grow at a faster rate than other goats in Alaska, ensuring trophy quality
at younger ages!
Kodiak’s goat tags are by drawing only but the chance at harvesting a trophy billy is very high. Increasing goat populations have lead to an increase in tags
for the areas that BRHC hunts. Our drawing areas do not require airplanes to
access. So 
weather cannot keep you from the field or from missing any airline
connections on your way home. I strongly encourage anyone interested in a great
mountain goat hunt to apply for our two drawing areas. Drawing results are
published in January so if you fail to draw a tag there is still plenty of time
to locate an over-the-counter goat hunt. So enter the drawing with out the risk
of loosing the opportunity to hunt! Please contact BRHC for information and
assistance on entering the drawing.
BRHC is currently in the work of securing an area for over the counter Mountain Goat hunts for the future. Hunts would take place in October and possibly into November. We did our first hunt there this past fall (2008) and harvested a 9.5” Billy at 37 yards with 6” bases, aged at 9 years old; he had only two teeth left. This area is so under hunted the goats are dying off from old age! Please email Jake for more information on these hunts; we do plan to eventually phase out all drawing goat hunts in favor of the over the counter hunts in order to provide a more secure planning option for our clients.
2008 Mt. Goat Hunt: WOW is my description of my hunt. Mother Nature was trying to do her best at keeping us from this hunt. Jakes knowledge and perseverance was true and instrumental in having the outcome of this hunt a success. This was the second guided hunt with Jake, and as the first, his dedication of making this a hunt that I will remember for a lifetime was right on track. Jakeʼs ethics towards hunting and commitment to safety is inspirational. Jake and his wife Amber are truly some of the finest people that I have ever met and are willing to take the extra steps necessary to make your hunting trip the best it can be. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone whishing to get the very best out of their hunting experience. Ronald W. Swecker |
