Indigo Lake Mt. Goat Hunt Zone Closed

(Sitka) – Hunt managers set a harvest quota of 2 males or 1 female for the Indigo Lake hunt zone of mountain goat hunt RG150 on Baranof Island. Quotas are based on the most recent aerial surveys.

To date, one female goat has been harvested in the Indigo Lake hunt zone of RG150. The management objective for this zone has been met and no further harvest is warranted. Harvest that exceeds objectives could lead to reduced hunting opportunity in the future.

Therefore, this zone is being closed by emergency order (EO) at 11:59 PM, Friday, August 23, 2024.

Emergency Order R1-8-24 was issued to close the mountain goat season in the Indigo Lake Zone of RG150 on Friday, August 23, 2024 @ 11:59 PM.

Those portions of Unit 4 not affected by this emergency order will remain open until harvest quotas are reached or the season concludes.
