Exceptional Success Rates and Trophy Quality

Since 1991, Parker Guide Service has specialized in late-season Alaska mountain goat hunts, boasting nearly a 100% success rate with 100% opportunity on their 7-day hunts. Their focus on the November rut ensures that goats are at lower elevations, making them more accessible and reducing the physical demands typically associated with such hunts. The billies harvested average over 9 inches, with some reaching up to 10 inches, and their long, thick coats make for impressive trophies.

Luxury Yacht Accommodations

Your base camp is the 80-foot luxury yacht, Alaskan Harvest, designed to provide all the comforts of home in the Alaskan wilderness. This floating lodge offers private staterooms, gourmet meals prepared by an onboard chef, and a comfortable setting to relax after a day’s hunt. The yacht’s mobility allows access to remote hunting areas, enhancing your chances of a successful and memorable hunt.

Optimal Timing for Prime Conditions

Parker Guide Service conducts their mountain goat hunts during a five-week season from late October through November. This timing coincides with the goats’ rut and the onset of snow, which not only brings the animals to more accessible elevations but also ensures their coats are at their fullest and most impressive. These conditions provide both a safer hunting experience and superior trophy quality.

Experienced and Dedicated Team

Led by Master Guide Bruce Parker, the team brings over three decades of experience in guiding hunts throughout Southeast Alaska. Their commitment to client success and satisfaction is evident in their meticulous planning, personalized service, and deep knowledge of the terrain and animal behavior. Clients often highlight the crew’s dedication and the seamless experience provided aboard the Alaskan Harvest.

Immersive Alaskan Wilderness Experience

Beyond the hunt, you’ll be immersed in the breathtaking landscapes of Southeast Alaska. From calving glaciers to diverse wildlife sightings, the environment adds an extraordinary dimension to your adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or pursuing a once-in-a-lifetime goal, Parker Guide Service ensures an experience that combines the thrill of the hunt with the awe of nature’s grandeur.
