10-Day Mountain Goat Hunt | Mackenzie, BC

MOUNTAIN GOAT

As a primary animal we hunt goats in September and early October. In later October the weather can become very difficult and the steep slopes the goats inhabit can become snow covered and extremely dangerous.

We offer two different types of goat hunts. We have a horseback hunt that we use horses to get to goat hunting areas. We also have back pack hunts where the goat hunting areas are accessed on foot.

The horseback hunt gets us to remote areas that are very hard to access on foot because of difficult terrain to traverse including rivers to cross. The horses allow us to get into these areas and also give us the flexibility to change hunting areas should it become necessary.

The backpack hunt we employ to hunt areas and stay up on the mountain without having to come down and care for the horses. Whichever way we decide to hunt goat hunting is a very physical pursuit and all hunters should be in very good condition.

We try extremely hard to harvest only mature Billys. Most goats we harvest are over 9 inches, our largest being a Billy that scores 53 1/2”

HUNT ITINERARY

Upon your arrival in Ft. Grahame you will be greeted by someone from the office. We will find you a bunk for the evening unless you are heading straight to spike camp. You will be fed lunch and you will check your rifle next. We prefer your rifle to be sighted in 3 inches high at 100 yds and you should have a .270Win or larger.

The next day you will travel to your spike camp. Where you go will depend on what species you are hunting and your physical capabilities. You may move to different camps for other species.

Your last night will be spent in Ft. Grahame before your return to Fort St John. We will get your trophies ready for your return home or if you wish we will have them shipped to you or your taxidermist at the end of the season. In some cases this is easier as there are compulsory inspections for some species and others need C.I.T.E.S. permits applied for.

Fall Hunts – Elk, Moose, Caribou, Mountain Goat

Primary animals: Elk, Moose, Caribou & Mountain Goat. The morning after you arrive at Ft. Grahame your hunt begins. You then hunt for 10 days and return home. On a fall hunt you are allowed to hunt any one of the primary animals. After success on your first choice, you may choose to hunt a second primary animal. If you are successful on your second animal a trophy fee will be charged. All hunters on fall hunts may hunt black bear and wolf at no extra charge.

Base Price is for 10-Day Hunt.
