Find: Mountain goat hunting; Mountain goat hunting guides and outfitters:
Mountain goat hunting is done from southeastern Alaska through British Columbia to the Rockies of Montana and Idaho. There are also limited populations in the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The mountain goat has also been introduced in places like Oregon, South Dakota and Colorado. The mountian goat is a very unique big game animal with hooves that act as suction cups to aid in traversing the rugged terrain in which it lives. It has short legs and heavy set bodies and both the male and female has horns. The male's horns are larger than the female's and they are never shed. The mountain goat's long wool winter coat covers everything except its hooves. This wool comes in very handy as the mountain goat lives out a large majority of its life on wind swept slopes far above the treeline. The mountain goat has a lifespan of around 12 years if they get past the first year. A lot of kids die during their first year due to accidents on the rugged slopes or from predators like bald eagles. Mountain goat hunting is considered by many to be the ultimate hunting experience and the mountain goat to be the most underrated game animal on the continent. Hunters should be aware that mountain goat hunting is done in some of the most steep terrain imaginable and hunters should be in the best physical shape they can be in prior to the hunt.
