ALASKA COASTAL HUNTS

Have you ever dreamed of bagging a BIG Billy? 
Make your dreams become a reality and book your trip with us!

What to expect:  Our goat hunts begin at the Homer small boat harbor on the afternoon of October 14th each year.  You will load up your gear for a five night/ six day hunt.  We will transport you to the hunting grounds during the afternoon and you will be ready to hunt at first light on opening day (October 15th).  You hunt the goats that are available during open registration and the areas and numbers can vary from year to year.  While you are with us you will be catered to.  We start off each day with a large home cooked breakfast and pack your lunch prior to taking you to shore. 

You are welcome to "glass" for goats from our boat or from the skiff.  You can usually see a dozen or more goats from the boat at a time.  The only thing standing between you and them is the mountain.  Most of the Goats you will be hunting will be at or around 2000 feet.  They are usually accessible after a two to three hour hike.  (It is highly recommended that you hunt in pairs. We will provide you with a hand held radio to call us when you are ready to be picked up).  If you get tired from hiking the hill and want a break or you have already "bagged a Billy", you are welcome to do some world class duck hunting.  We will drop you off on a point and give you several decoys.  Have fun and try not to sink the decoys.  Many hunters shoot two to three boxes of shells in just a couple of hours.

Dates:           October 15th-20th

Prices:  $2,000.00 per person with a minimum of four hunters and a maximum of six.

Besides your personal hunting gear you may have some or all of the additional expenses listed below:

Additional Expenses:

Travel to Homer (varies).

Hunting License (currently $25.00 for resident and $85.00 for non resident).

Goat Tag (free for resident, $300.00 for non-resident)  Non-resident must be hunting with Alaska resident who is next of kin.

Meat Boxes for shipping meat and capes home ($15.00 each which hold about 40-50lbs. of meat).

Gratuity for the crew if you feel they earned it.  (If for some reason you feel the crew did not perform at an exceptional level please notify us immediately).

What to bring:

1.  Rifle (Mountain Goats are tough animals that are difficult to kill.  Make sure the caliber you select has the power to cleanly kill this big game animal.  Bring at least three boxes of ammunition in case you have to sight in your rifle).

2.  Shotgun if you want to hunt ducks.  (12 gauge for duck hunting w/ 4 boxes of #2 steel shot.  We can buy the shells for you so you don't have to pack them, but please let us know in advance.  Our price is $20.00 per box).

3.  High quality hunting boots (comfortable footwear can really make a difference, we can get you to the shore without getting your feet wet).

4.  High quality rain gear (gore-tex or similar can also keep you dry and comfortable).

5.  Layered hunting clothing.

6.  A day pack.

7.  A pack frame with rope.

8.  Knives

9.  Small flashlight

10.  Camera

11.  Binoculars

12.  Spotting Scope

13.  Gun Cleaning Kit

14.  Sleeping bag and pillow (light bag for the boat). 

15.  Spike Camp (optional, but can give an advantage to aggressive hunters that are looking for a serious trophy.

Hunter Safety is our primary concern:  All firearms must be unloaded prior to being picked up on shore by the skiff and may not be reloaded until you are dropped off on shore again.   There are to be absolutely no loaded firearms on board any vessel owned or operated by Alaska Coastal Hunts.
