Mountain
Goat Hunting in Alberta
|
Mountain goat hunting
in Alberta was halted in 1988 to preserve a dwindling
population. Since that time, the numbers of these animals
have been steadily increasing. In 2001, the Fish and Wildlife
Division is offering a limited mountain goat hunt in southern
Alberta for Alberta residents only. For this reason, some
alberta hunting outfittters have hunts available in British
Columbia, Canada The
mountain goat lives in rocky mountainous areas above the
timberline throughout parts of North America. British
Columbia's population is by far the largest in North America
at approximately 100,000.
The slender, black shiny horns rise in a backward curve
to a length of 10-12 inches. The record length was from
a female goat whose horns measured 12-4/8 inches. The
tip to tip spread is usuaIly about ten inches.
Mountain Goat are are best hunted in November, when their
full capes make them a really striking trophy. Mountain
goat hunting is not easy. They inhabit the roughest possible
terrain in the mountain ranges of BC, usually remaining
at or above timberline and within easy reach of rocky
bluffs or crags. They may travel short distances through
forests and valleys but will seldom linger there, and
although deep snows may force them to lower elevations,
they prefer to remain high in the mountain.
The hunter has to be in good physical condition and experienced.
Many of the hunts are done on horseback or backpack on
foot. This is an extreme hunt and very exhilerating.
