Common Questions
How much does a guided mountain goat hunt cost?
Across published prices for guided mountain goat hunts, most fall between $2,875 and $10,950, with a midpoint around $7,000. Based on prices published by 19 outfitters on their own websites. Prices exclude the hunting licence and tag, which are paid to the state separately.
Does a guided mountain goat hunt price include the tag?
No. Outfitters quote their guiding, lodging and logistics; the licence and tag are bought separately from the state wildlife agency. Nonresident mountain goat tags run $2,627 in Idaho. Those come from each state agency's published nonresident fee schedule.
What else should I budget for beyond the mountain goat hunt price?
Beyond the outfitter's fee and the tag, budget for travel to the trailhead or camp, licence fees, and a gratuity for the guide, which is commonly 10 to 15 percent of the hunt price on a fully guided trip. Meat processing and taxidermy are billed separately if you take an animal.
