Mountain Goat Hunting

Dan Gabriel's Kodiak goat 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.

For those who wish not to stay in spike tents during their hunt, local hotels can accommodate them. Hunting would then consist 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.

"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

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.

“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”
