British Columbia – Horseback Mt. Goat Hunt

Mountain Goat Hunts in Remote Northwest British Columbia

A Legacy of Exclusive Wilderness Access

Mountain goat hunts in northwest British Columbia offer one of the most challenging and rewarding big game experiences in North America. For nearly four decades, this exclusive guiding area—spanning over 1,000 square miles—has remained largely untouched. Because the territory is provincially licensed and privately guided, non-resident hunters gain rare access to true wilderness that few will ever experience.

A Landscape Defined by the Continental Divide

Moreover, this vast hunting area lies on both sides of the Continental Divide, separating Pacific and Arctic watersheds. As a result, hunters encounter an unmatched variety of terrain, including snow-capped peaks, glacier-fed lakes, alpine meadows, coniferous forests, and crystal-clear mountain streams. Consequently, the scenery alone makes each hunt unforgettable, even before a single goat is spotted.

Exceptional Wildlife and Mountain Goat Populations

In addition to its beauty, the region supports an abundance of wildlife. Mountain goats thrive here alongside Canada moose, mountain caribou, grizzly and black bears, wolves, and wolverines. Importantly, mountain goat populations are exceptionally strong, allowing guides to pre-scout and identify mature billies well before the season begins.

Proven Success on Mature Trophy Goats

The mountain goat season opens on August 1st, offering early-season access to goats often ranging from 8 to 13 years of age. Many harvested goats qualify for Boone and Crockett recognition, reflecting age, horn quality, and overall trophy standards. Over the past 20 years, hunters whose primary goal was mountain goat have enjoyed near-unmatched success, reinforcing the reliability of this hunt.

The Ultimate High-Country Hunting Experience

Ultimately, these mountain goat hunts deliver solitude, adventure, and authenticity. For hunters seeking a true “hunt of a lifetime” in remote alpine country, this British Columbia experience stands apart.
