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, two male goats from Lisa Creek have been harvested. Therefore, this zone is being closed by emergency order (EO) at 11:59 PM, Sunday, September 13, 2026.

Emergency Order (EO) R1-6-26 was issued to close the mt. goat season in the Lisa Creek zone on Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026 @11:59 pm.

The Lisa Creek zone could be over-utilized due to low population levels and accessibility. Managers will reassess and make in-season adjustments to quotas and zone closures when updated surveys are conducted.

Those portions of Unit 4 not affected by this emergency order will remain open until harvest quotas are reached or the season concludes. For maps, zone quotas, FAQ’s and other information, contact the Sitka area office at (907) 747-5449.
