The Hunt
This is a fly in hunt located near Cordova, east of the Copper River, along the Gulf of Alaska. This is a limited guiding use area. Accessed via Bush Plane into the goat area. You and your guide will backpack up with 6-7 days’ worth of food and gear to where the goats are. From there your hunt starts.

Accessed by jet boat or zodiac, you’ll off load at base camp which consists of 8×8 tents with cots where you and your guide will regroup and load packs for a true backpack hunt. From base camp you’ll have a physical climb up to above timberline. Fitness is key on this hunt. Once spike camp is reached you will hike out from there to where the goats are. Typical elevation is 3,000-4,000 ft above sea level.
