Fall Hunting

Mountain Goat

Come and enjoy the breath taking scenery of the Coast Mountains. With an abundance of mountain goats in this area there are good numbers of mature billy goats. This country is not for the faint of heart ... it will challenge the best of hunters. For many, this is a hunt of a lifetime. There are few hunters lucky enough to take one of these amazing animals. The kill of a mountain goat is most rewarding. We have a very good success rate among our hunters. Goat hunts begin September 1st and go through until October 31st. The earlier hunts are offered as back country horse back combo hunts with the ability to harvest  a high county Mule deer or Black Tail deer aswell as Black Bear. These hunts will typically need to be booked as 10 day hunts. High Caliber strongly encourages its clients to purchase a Deer tag and Black bear tag from the government while in pursuite of Mountain Goat. This gives the hunter the opportunity to harvest a Deer or Bear if he or she so chooses with a trophy fee.

Mule Deer & Black Tail Deer

These mountains hold many hidden basins where early season deer can be found. We have both Mule Deer and Black Tail Deer in the area as well as Hybrids. Hybrids can be a tremendous species as they will hold traits of both Mule Deer and Black Tail Deer. You will find heavy dark horns and facial features of Black Tail while having deep long tines and body size of a Mule Deer. Although not classifies as a Black Tail in Boone and crockette, one can still hang a 130-150 on their wall and call it a Black Tail.

With this hunt mainly being a spot and stalk, the guide will determine weather it is a mule deer or Black Tail or Hybrid which will give the hunter the opportunity to decide it they would like to harvest that type of animal. This hunt is best throughout November as the rut is on and they are in the lower regions of the mountains.
