Alaska’s Lonesome Dove Outfitters
Mountain Goat Combination Hunts

We start hunting Mountain Goats on September 15th after they have their winter coats. These are 6 day hunts for $9,500, and our overall success rate has been 95% since 1996. The success rate is very high because we have several core areas in which to hunt, and we do not over hunt the areas. Our clients have taken 10 mountain goats since 2001 that have scored high enough to make the all time Boone and Crockett record book.

This hunt can be very physically demanding, especially if you are looking for a B&C contender, but it is this effort that makes it such a rewarding experience. I have always believed that you get out of a hunt what you put into it, and you will leave with a strong sense of accomplishment and pride. A black bear can also be taken on this hunt for a $1,500 trophy fee. This hunt has been featured on 3 TV shows with Tom Miranda’s Advantage Adventures, Cabela’s Sportsman’s Quest with Jay Novacek, and Ted Jaycox’ World of Hunting.

We set up a comfortable base camp at the point where we leave the bush plane, but the hunt is conducted out of a spike camp. You will be required to carry a backpack with your rifle or bow along with your sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and personal gear. We will provide all of the camping gear. Food will be Mountain House freeze dried food while up in spike camp. You will also be provided with a climbing axe and crampons to help negotiate the more difficult country. Mountain Goat hunting is statistically the most dangerous hunting with more hunters killed or injured per capita than any other species, including bears and elephants. This is simply because of the terrain that they choose to call home. We are very experienced in our hunting areas and have never had a client get injured. We know what terrain is safe and also what terrain we need to stay out of. Fortunately, mountain goats are relatively easy animals to hunt once you get to where they live. Unlike British Columbia where they are hunted at altitudes in excess of 10,000 feet, we are starting at sea level and rarely go above 3000 feet. We have a lot more oxygen in the air.

There also may be the opportunity to take a brown bear on this hunt depending on the area we are hunting, and how well the goat hunt goes. For this we charge a $4,500 trophy fee, but you must buy a brown bear tag for $500 before we hunt the bears. There is a round trip charter fee of $950 per client, and you are responsible for your in-town lodging in Cordova which runs about $120/night. Your hunting license will cost $85, a mountain goat tag is $300, and a black bear tag is $225. These are your only expenses as we have no hidden costs or charges. We will take care of all of your trophy and meat preparation and will pack them for you to take back with you or will ship them to you or your taxidermist.
