British
Columbia Canada Mountain Goat Hunting
|
 |
 |
The
Skeena and the Omineca mountains of British Columbia, Canada are well
known in the record books for the quality of mountain goats that they
provide. Our goats range in size from 9" to 11", with the
average being 9 1/2 inches. We have had 100% success on our mountain
goat hunting trips for the last 3 years.
The reason for our great success on our goat hunts is the terrain. We hunt our goats between 5,000 and 6,000 feet in elevation, not the 6,000 to 10,000 feet that other outfitters have to hunt in the Rocky and Coast Mountains. The Skeena and Omineca Mountains in our guiding area have produced numerous record mountain goats over the past decade. We don't do early goat hunts like other outfitters. As a result, all of our goats have good hair.
These majestic animals live between elevations of 5000 and 6000 feet. Typically we would fly into one of our base camps at around the 4000 foot level. From there we would take our mountain tent and supplies and hike up to where the goats are. Mountain goat hunting in Canada can last any where from 2 hours to 8 days, depending on the weather. To hunt mountain goats in Canada, the hunter need not be a marathon runner but should be in fairly good condition. The better the condition, the more the client will enjoy the goat hunt. Clients should have their rifles sighted in at 200 yards.
Our mountain goat hunting trips start in mid August and run until early September. Black bear is included in this hunt. In September, goat hunting can be added to a combination hunt with Canada moose hunting, black bear, and wolf hunting in Canada.
We
offer moose hunting, bear hunting, wolf hunting, and mountain goat
hunting in British Columbia Canada.
