Goat Hunting from a Boat in Alaska
Show Notes:
Passionate about hunting in Alaska, Zach Kenner talks up the benefits of hunting from a boat, and chasing down billy goats. The remoteness of the Alaskan wilderness can make it a challenge to get at the animals, but Zach loves the challenge of figuring out an accessible and affordable way to keep chasing down trophy animals.
Zach’s not a native to Alaska, and sometimes his head is stuck on thinking about hunting like he’s still in the lower 48 states. The weather and the sheer inaccessibility of some of the best areas means that really thinking through a strategy is required. Looking for a billy goat to add to his trophy collection, Zach shares how he hunted goats from a boat. Being out on the water can add a whole new challenge depending on if it’s the more sheltered inlets like south of Ketchikan, or if you’re out on the water like out around Kodiak.
You can’t get around flying into certain parts of Alaska because there’s sometimes no other way to access those remote areas. And when a plane trip costs $3,000, the cost of a hunt can add up quickly. I know when I’m filming a hunt, I have to balance the cost of the travel, the food, the tags, and even if I need to hire a local guide. Zach and I talk about the trade offs for traveling or staying close to home for hunting.

Short Description:
If you want to make the best of your Alaskan hunting trip, Zach Kenner says to avoid getting hung up on a lot of the rules that hunters in the lower 48 states have learned. From all of the traveling you’ll do to reach the best hunting grounds to slogging through a temperate rainforest to hunt, hunting in Alaska is amazing.
