Sitka, Alaska (KINY) – Hunt managers set a harvest quota of two males or one female for the Rosenberg Lake 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 have been harvested in the Rosenberg Lake hunt zone of RG150.
Therefore, this zone is being closed by emergency order (EO) at 11:59 PM, Saturday, Oct. 28.
Emergency Order R1-17-23 was issued to close the mountain goat season in the Rosenberg Lake Zone of RG150 on Saturday, Oct. 28, at 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.
