FROM ‘HUNTING THE GOATS OF KODIAK ISLAND’ – MARCH 2019 ISSUE OF OUTDOOR LIFE MAGAZINE
MOUNTAIN GOATS ARE FASCINATING CRITTERS. THEY ARE AMONG THE MOST MAJESTIC ANIMALS IN ALASKA, AND THE TERRAIN IN WHICH THEY LIVE ONLY ADDS TO THAT MAJESTY. THEY CAN TRAVEL WITH EASE WHERE NO HUMAN CAN FOLLOW (AT LEAST, NOT WITHOUT CLIMBING GEAR), AND THEY WOULD BE ALL BUT INVINCIBLE TO A HUNTER’S EFFORTS IF IT WERE NOT FOR ONE CHARACTER FLAW: THEY ARE GLUTTONOUS. GOATS LIKE THE VERY BEST FEED. MOST OF THE TIME, THERE IS PLENTY FOR THEM TO LIVE ON IN THE HIGH COUNTRY WHERE THEY SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME, BUT THE LUSHEST PLANTS GROW LOWER ON THE MOUNTAIN AND ARE TOO TEMPTING FOR GOATS TO RESIST.
Goats are harder to come by – and they require that the hunters do some climbing. But Nick knows where to find them. They have a beautiful soft and lustrous coat, as well as surprisingly delicious meat.
Months highlighted in orange are only available to Alaskan Residents.
*Kodiak Brown Bear – The spring season April 1 through May 15. The fall season is from October 25 to November 30.
