More about us

Our company was established in 1988 and operates in 1 territory.
  • The most effective way of hunting Southeast Alaska's coastal wilderness and its endless channels and islands is by boat. Aboard our spacious 50-foot Motor Vessel "Northern Star" you can enjoy home cooked meals, hot showers and comfortable bunks after a hard day hunting. The "Northern Star" is equipped with two 18-foot long range hunting skiffs. While cruising along to different bays, hunters use the boat as a spotting platform while underway, glassing nearby mountains and meadows for big game. After we anchor in a quiet secluded cove you and your guide will head out for the actual hunt in your skiff, hunting for many miles along the shoreline, explore hidden passes and tidal meadows. During fall hunts we stalk up the many salmon streams in the pursuit of the big bruins. Our southeast Alaskan guided bear and goat hunts are among the best in the region.
  • Hunting late season mountain goat from the comforts of a boat is the only way to go. Not only are mountain goats in their prime with long shaggy coats during these late season hunts but at the end of a hard day hunting you can always look forward to come home to a warm comfortable boat with great home cooked meals and a cold beer.
  • No more than two hunters per Trip! All hunts one on one!

About this hunt

The wild glacial landscape of Southeast Alaskas Coastal Mountain Range has the highest density of Mountain Goats in the world and can be easily accessed by boats through its deep fjords. Our late season hunts for Mountain Goats in the Fords Terror Tracy Arm Wilderness Area have been unsurpassed by anyone. Year after year our small team has been producing consistently Boone&Crockett Trophies with 100% success for most seasons. Our mature billies have been averaging over nine inches year after year. The three-nine day hunts start the end of October and finishes the middle of November. Seven full hunting days with only two hunters aboard not also maximizes your success it also means we can afford to be selective bagging mature large sized billies only. In addition by October/ November the long hair on these goats is extremely prime which makes it one of the most eye catching trophies you will ever earn! Due to rutting and snow conditions goats will inhabit lower elevations making the hunt more enjoyable and possible for physically less able or older hunters. These late season boat based hunts for Mountain Goat from the comfort of our 50 foot vessel are the only way to go. At the end of a long day hunting you can always look forward to come home to a warm comfortable boat with great home cooked meals and a cold beer.
