Live Hunt Alaska: Hunting Mountain Goats in the Chugach
Live Hunt host Tyler Freel and his buddy trekked through dangerous glaciers and mountains in the hopes of filling two goat tags.
Just five days after returning from my sheep hunt, it was time to head back to the mountains. My buddy Steve and I met up at Meekins Air Service in the middle of the Chugach range to try and fill the mountain goat tags we had drawn. We both arrived late the night before our flight out, and after packing gear and getting a good night’s rest, it was time to go. As we were going over final plans, we found that the weather was too nasty to get into the area we wanted to hunt, so we were going to be dropped on a glacier instead. We had no idea what we would be in for. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

thanks for the questions JM, he didn't want to shoot the bear in that position because it is hard to tell exactly how the vital organs are positioned when they are laying down often, and he wanted to make sure and get both lungs. There is basically one road that runs along the north edge of the chugach. some of it is accessible by foot, but most only by air. thanks!
Congrats on the goat, and that bullet performance was pretty impressive. Why did Steve not want to shoot the bear while it was laying down? Are the Chugach Mountains only accessible by plane and by foot or are there a few roads throughout it all?
