Mountain Goat Hunt Closure For Lake Diana, Lake Irina Zones

Lake Diana and Lake Irina Mt. Goat Hunt Zones Closed

(Sitka) – Hunt managers set a combined harvest quota of five males or one female for the Lake Diana and Lake Irina hunt zones of mountain goat hunt RG150 on Baranof Island. Quotas are based on the most recent aerial surveys. The strategy of closing hunt zones when one female has been harvested has been very effective in reducing female harvest and has helped maintain high harvest opportunities for male goats. Keeping hunters focused on avoiding female harvest maintains opportunities for more hunters to participate, especially in hunt zones that have good access.

To date, four male goats from Lake Diana and one male goat from Lake Irina have been harvested. Therefore, this zone is being closed by emergency order (EO) at 11:59 PM, Friday, October 17, 2025.

Emergency Order R1-14-25 was issued to close the mountain goat season in the Lake Diana and Lake Irina Zones of RG150 on Friday, October 17, 2025 @ 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.
