See what sets us apart… for your next Alaskan Mountain Goat Hunt
Why should I book a mountain goat hunt with Parker Guide Service?
Parker Guide Service offers one of the most successful mountain goat hunts in North America, backed by 35 years of experience in the same guide area. With virtually a 100% harvest success rate on trophy billy goats, late-season coastal access by boat, and unmatched comfort aboard a custom luxury yacht, this hunt combines effectiveness, safety, and an unforgettable Alaskan experience.
When do you hunt mountain goats?
We hunt in November during the winter season, when mountain goat hair is at its longest and most impressive. The coastal environment’s cold, raw, and damp climate produces longer hair than any other goat hunting area in the world, making this the ideal time for trophy-quality goats.
Is this hunt physically demanding? Do I need to climb?
No. Our hunts take place during the prime rut when goats are most accessible at very low elevations. Most goats are harvested directly from the shoreline, with no mountain climbing involved. This makes our hunt one of the easiest and most accessible mountain goat hunts available.
What are typical shooting distances on this hunt?
Average shot distances typically range from 300 to 400 yards, providing ethical, clear shooting opportunities without extreme terrain challenges.
What makes your mountain goat hunt different from others in North America?
We are the originators of late-season mountain goat hunts conducted by boat. By hunting coastal goat populations during the rut and accessing areas by sea, we offer higher success rates, less physical strain, and more consistent trophy billy opportunities than traditional interior hunts.
What kind of success rate can I expect?
With 35 years of experience and intimate knowledge of the area, Parker Guide Service maintains a virtually 100% harvest success rate on trophy billy mountain goats—one of the highest success rates available anywhere in North America.
What accommodations are provided during the hunt?
Clients stay aboard a multi-million-dollar custom-built yacht designed specifically for comfort and safety in Alaskan waters. Accommodations include private staterooms with full bathrooms, luxurious amenities, and a full-time chef providing first-class meals throughout the hunt.
How do you access the hunting areas each day?
We use custom-designed, seaworthy skiffs that are both comfortable and safe, allowing efficient daily access to prime goat hunting locations along the coastline.
What kind of scenery and wildlife will I experience?
The hunt takes place in truly one-of-a-kind scenery featuring tidewater glaciers, fjords, and abundant sea life. The area has one of the highest recorded mountain goat densities in North America, making every day on the water and in the field visually unforgettable.
Who will be guiding the hunt?
We are personally involved in guiding every hunt. In addition, you’ll be supported by a professional, experienced crew of five who specialize in our hunting operations and know the area inside and out.
Will I hunt alone or with other clients?
Each client participates in a shared experience and is typically involved in 2–3 other hunters’ successful goat harvests. Many clients consider watching and sharing in others’ success one of the highlights of the hunt, often leading to lasting friendships and shared memories.
How well do you know the hunting area?
We have hunted the same mountain goat areas since 1991. Our long-term knowledge of goat behavior, movement patterns, and access points allows us to consistently put clients on trophy billy goats in the best possible locations.
