Mountain goat hunts take place October through November on Kodiak Island in some of the most rugged terrain in Alaska. Clients hunt near Mike's private property on Ugak Bay with 50 available draw permits in the area (DG 476). The hunt area holds a large population of mountain goats, and most billies harvested run over 8 inches, with several 10-inch goats taken.

Hunters must be in good to excellent physical shape—this is serious spot-and-stalk hunting with significant packing requirements.

Nonresidents pay: - Alaska hunting license: $160 (U.S.) or $630 (alien) - Mountain goat tag: $600 (U.S.) or $800 (alien) - Deer tag: $300 per animal (U.S.) or $400 (alien)

Mike's team assists with draw permit applications online at Alaska Department of Fish and Game (November 1-December 15 for following year hunts). Clients have a good chance of drawing—50 permits available in his hunt area.

Clients fly commercial to Kodiak Airport, where they're met by a guide or air charter representative. Mike coordinates float-plane transportation (Cessna 185, Cessna 206, DeHavilland Beaver) to/from the wilderness house. Clients pay for commercial airfare and air charter services separately.

• •Important: You cannot hunt the same day you're airborne. Recommended arrival is 1-2 days early in Kodiak to purchase licenses, pick up permits, and grab any last-minute gear.

For departure, Mike recommends staying 1-2 days in Kodiak or Anchorage for trophy processing, shipping meat home, or expediting trophy to a taxidermist.

Mike strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage. He also recommends Global Rescue membership for medical advisory and evacuation (1-435-680-2566 or 1-617-210-8110).

All clients must sign a Guide-Outfitter Contract within 90 days of deposit or before services begin. A State of Alaska Guide/Outfitter Hunt Record and Participation Release Form are completed at the start of each hunt.

Successful Alaska hunts require 1-2 years of advance planning. Mike provides printable gear lists for each hunt type: - Pre-hunt checklist - Spring/fall brown bear hunt lists - Moose hunt list - Sheep and goat hunt list - Sitka deer hunt list - Sea duck hunt list - Fishing list

Hunters pack in multiple small waterproof bags for transport on bush planes. Rifle hard cases and travel clothes bags should be left with the air charter service.
