The most effective way of hunting S.E. Alaska's Coastal Wilderness and its endless channels and islands is by boat. Aboard our spacious 50-foot Motor Vessel "Northern Star" you can enjoy superb meals, hot showers and comfortable bunks. The Northern Star is equipped with two 18-foot hunting skiffs. While cruising to different bays, Hunters use the boat as a spotting platform, glassing nearby mountains and meadows for game. After we anchor in a quiet secluded cove you and your guide will head out in your skiff to explore hidden passes and stalk up the many salmon streams in the pursuit of the big Bruins.

Come join us in a truly memorable Alaskan adventure!

Mountain Goat

The Coastal Mountain Range, with its majestic fjords, and rugged peaks soaring out of the sea is renowned for its excellent hunting for record B&C class Mountain Goat. Our late season hunts for Mt. Goat are unsurpassed by anyone. Success rates have been-100% for many years, with Billy's averaging over 9 inches. Many Billy's in the 10 inch class have made the Boone & Crocket record book. The hunts start late October till the end of November. By then, due to colder temperatures the long hair on these goats is extremely prime making it one of the most eye catching trophies you will ever earn! Also due to rutting and snow conditions, Mt. Goats inhabit much lower altitudes making the hunt more enjoyable and also possible for physically less able hunters.
