All huntable mountain goat populations are managed through draw and registration permits. Alaska does not offer over-the-counter permits for mountain goat, but most units have open registration hunts which are essentially over-the-counter hunts with emergency closure protocols to manage these hunts based on draw hunt success and harvest limits. For example, all draw hunts in unit 7 will have registration-only hunts that may be open November 1-14 following the early season draw permit hunts.

For specific dates and units please visit the Alaska ADFG

The southwestern portion of Kodiak Island is managed through an open registration hunt with a two goat bag limit. This unique hunt is open from August 20 through March 31 annually. This hunt should be on the list of those with resident kindred relatives who live in Alaska and have a budget to hire floatplane dropoff services.
