Mountain Goat Hunt Shutting Down Around Baranof Island’s Lisa Creek

The following press release is courtesy of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game:

Lisa Creek Mt. Goat Hunt Zone Closed

(Sitka) – Hunt managers set a harvest quota of two males or one female for the Lisa Creek hunt zone 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, one female goat has been harvested in the Lisa Creek hunt zone of RG150. The management objective for this zone has been met and no further harvest is warranted. Therefore, this zone is being closed by emergency order (EO) at 11:59 PM, Wednesday, August 14, 2024

Emergency Order R1-6-24 was issued to close the mountain goat season in the Lisa Creek Hunt Zone of RG150 on Wednesday, August 14, 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.
