Mountain goats survive because of where they live, not necessarily because they are so wily. The saying goes that mountain goat hunting starts, where sheep hunting stops. Our best advice: Get ready to do some climbing! Being in shape, and having the right gear is critical. You can never be over-prepared to take on a goat hunt.
The hunt you book needs to be in an area and/or with an outfitter that would satisfy your trophy quality expectations, while also fitting your physical condition level and your budget. That’s what our service is all about. The country these animals inhabit is something to behold, and spending time there is addicting once you conquer it for the first time. Don’t wait for years to save up to go mountain goat hunting, NOW IS THE TIME!
A North American sheep hunt is at the top of many hunters’ buck lists. And there is no doubt that sheep hunts are tough, physically demanding hunts. If a mountain hunt is on your bucket list, you do not need “sheep money” or years of pre-planning to go. They are the largest mammals found up there in the thin air, and in my opinion they live in some of the prettiest and most spectacular places on the planet. In most places, goats spend the majority of their time near or above timberline. You should plan on hunting at elevations of around 8,000 to 13,000 ft. Get in shape if you are planning a mountain goat hunt. It’s not gonna be easy.
As difficult as these hunts are, getting a mountain goat tag can sometimes be the hardest part. Either you play the draws, or hire a guide in an area with over-the-counter tags. Many hunters spend decades building points to draw a coveted tag in the lower-48 or you can book an over-the-counter goat hunt through us.
Alaska, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, Alberta, the Yukon, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Texas, South Dakota and Washington all have mountain goat hunting opportunities. Some states/units have relatively good drawing odds, especially when you compare them to species like bighorn sheep. We can help you determine an application strategy If you do end up getting lucky enough to draw a mountain goat tag, be sure to contact us for the best outfitters.
