ALASKA GOAT BOAT HUNT BIG BODIED LONGHAIRED BILLIES MID OCTOBER TO MID NOVEMBER $24,000 7 DAYS BOAT HUNT 2024 – 6 HUNTERS 5 BILLIES 2023 – 6 HUNTERS 5 BILLIES 2022 – 9 HUNTERS 8 BILLIES
The outfitter has decided to only run 3 hunts for these late season big bodied long haired bil- lies. This is a premier hunt with plenty of goats with many weighing in excess of 300 pounds. These are not the most physical of mountain goat hunts and if you can hike and shoot, odds are you will be bringing a billy home.
2024 first hunt went 1 for 1, second hunt 3 for 3 and last hunt 1 for 2. The unsuccessful hunter was 82 years old and did have a billy at 200 yards, but had trouble finding him in the scope. Best billy would make Boone and Crockett awards book. Most were in the usual 9 to 9 1/2 inch class.
2023 first hunt both hunters tagged big billies, second hunt again both scored in 4 days, third hunt went 1 for 2. The unsuccessful hunter was unable to hike, but still missed a billy. No book billies were taken but had an overall average of 9 1/2 inches.
This is an extremely high success hunt on big bodied mature billies if you can physically hike. 9 days total, 7 hunting days are priced at $24,000 guided 1×1 by the outfitter or his head guide and they only take 2 hunters per trip. He typically does 3 hunts starting mid to late October and fin- ishing mid-November. These hunts are conducted off his 45 foot hunting vessel pulling along two 18 foot skiffs to access shoreline. Normally the first hunt is the most physical as the billies are usually higher at 3500 foot elevation. Later hunts billies tend to be lower as the rut is in full swing and they travel lower looking for nannies. All the billies are long haired even on his first hunt as it is so close to winter.
Hunts take place off the mainland shoreline in southeastern Alaska. First hunt is October 20 to 28, second hunt 28 to November 5 and last hunt 5 to 13. Charter flights out of Juneau to the boat are about $300 per hunter. At press time 2025 hunt dates are available. Hunt MG907.
