HUNT: Vessel Based Mountain Goat Hunt in Alaska
CONSULTANT: Russ Meyer, Outdoors International
September, 2014
Upon arrival in Valdez, Alaska I was met by my guide, and to say we hit it off would be an understatement. After grabbing my luggage, we were off to mountain goat hunting camp. Camp on this trip was different from what I was used to. For the next week we were staying on a yacht! This was the kind of camp I could get used to!
After a good night of sleep, my guide and I were off to chase some mountain goats!
Within ten minutes of the boat ride, we were spotting goats. After going through our options, we finally picked out a lone goat bedded on the side of a cliff! Two hours later, and we were standing above the lone billy. Not quite big enough, we moved on.
The next day, my guide and I found a bachelor group of billies. Three of which were worthy of an arrow. Within a few hours, we were in archery range of the five bedded billies. A half hour later, and I sent an arrow through the 9+ inch Pope and Young Billy!
Hunting mountain goats has been one of my lifelong goals. Always thinking such a hunt was just out of my financial bracket, I never thought much of pursuing it. That was until Russ Meyer gave me a call. Knowing that goats were on my bucket list, Russ got the ball rolling, and before I knew I was on my way to Alaska.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
