Mountain Goat

Old Harbor sits between 2 mountain goat areas, 476, to the northeast, and 480 to the south.

You can harvest 1 goat from Game Unit 476. To hunt in 476, you must register in person in Old Harbor or be selected through ADFG’s annual drawing. The drawing season runs from August 20 to October 25. The registration season runs November 1 through December 15 and can close earlier by Emergency Order.

Game Unit 480 is open through online registration and the season runs August 20 through March 31. In 480, you can harvest 2 goats, with only 1 being a billy. Before shooting, it is important to consider whether retrieval is possible if the goat does not fall your way, especially if it’s afternoon. It’s helpful to have experience harvesting big game as you are more likely to determine if you have impact after shooting and whether retrieval is possible. We need you be on the beach and ready to be picked up before sunset.

Spring is a popular time as the goats may be lower than in the fall. However, they are not always lower. Hunters should be experienced and have the necessary gear if you do need to climb to the higher elevations. At a minimum we recommend microspikes, ice axes, and climbing boots. You may need snowshoes or crampons. The terrain is steep and you need to be prepared in the event that you do need to climb to reach them. You could encounter brush, ice, snow, boulders – winters have been variable, some winters we have snow even in March.

As they say, there is no such thing as an easy goat hunt.
