Mountain Goat
Hunt MG491
NORTHERN BRITISH
COLUMBIA
8 DAYS 1X1 HORSEBACK $9900
OR 2X1 ONLY $6900 EACH
Here is the deal for 2012 if you want a
mountain goat. Last fall success ran 15 for 17 for both
goat and moose, two buddies just played out early and didn’t
score on either animal. Goats averaged about 9 and a half
inches and 3 moose should make Boone and Crockett. This is
typically a horseback hunt, but sometimes depending on the area
it can be backpack.
In 2010 all 15 goat hunters were successful, including
4 billies going over 10 inches. All the moose hunters were
successful as well, including 4 record book bulls being taken.
This 4,500 square mile area
located only 60 miles from the
Yukon
border in the
Cassiar
Mountains
has high goat numbers and most hunters are tagged out in 3 days.
Moose numbers are also quite high in his area and being near the Yukon
border the bulls have fantastic genetics.
The outfitter has decided to offer some bargain priced
hunts, especially for a couple hunting pals that are willing to go
guided 2x1. 8 hunting days 2x1 is $6,900, 1x1 is $9,900 and a
second animal is $3,500. 10 hunting days 2x1 is $8,900 or 1x1 is
$12,900 and a second animal is $2,000 trophy fee.
The Cassiar
Mountains in his area run
up to 6,500’ and timberline is at 4,500’. The valley floor is about
3,000 to 3,500 feet above sea level and they normally hunt between 4,000
and 5,000 feet for goats. Hunters arrive and overnight in Whitehorse. Rent a car to Watson
Lake
and roundtrip charter to camp for $1,500 plus licenses and 7% HST tax.
HCU’s Bob Wodzisz and Cliff Graham have hunted this area.
