Kodiak Island is fortunate to have an extremely healthy and growing mountain goat population. The island currently issues 500 permits annually, which are divided among nine mountain goat areas. Annual harvest is approximately 180 mountain goats, nearly double the next highest area in the state.
Kodiak mountain goat hunts are currently drawing and registration hunts with an application deadline of December 16. The drawing results are published in early February. We will help you take care of all necessary paperwork. You are allowed to apply for three hunt areas, and in doing so, have approximately a 20% chance of drawing.
Hunt in truly awesome country, atop our majestic mountains overlooking the many bays that dissect the island. We are fortunate to be able to access this country from mountain lakes, avoiding the thicker vegetation of the lower altitudes, which makes our hunts some of the easier mountain goat hunts offered in Alaska.
Kodiak Outdoor Adventures offers a nine day mountain goat hunt with seven days of hunting and two for travel. It can be combined with Sitka blacktail deer and our Kodiak game bird, the ptarmigan. We normally operate with two guides per hunter, making for one of the safest, most enjoyable and productive mountain goat hunts possible.
