Twentymile Mountain Goat Hunt RG868 Closes in Unit 14C

(Anchorage) – Registration permit hunt RG868 for mountain goats in the Twentymile River area (Game Management Unit 14C) will close by emergency order at 11:59 p.m. on September 5, 2024.

To maintain the population objective of at least 500 goats in Unit 14C that will sustain an annual harvest of 25 goats, comprising at least 60 percent males, harvest from this area should not exceed five goat points. The Twentymile area is managed with separate registration hunts for resident and nonresident hunters. Four of the total goat points are allotted for residents holding permit RG868. Total goat points are calculated using one point for billies and two points for nannies.

Currently, five goat points have been reported harvested by resident hunters from the Twentymile area (RG868), and additional hunters remain in the field. No further harvest is warranted at this time.

For more information concerning this registration hunt, contact Area Wildlife Biologist Cory Stantorf at (907) 267-2811 or Asst. Area Wildlife Biologist Nick Docken at (907) 267-2185.
