Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast. This is episode number 578 and master guide and outfitter, Joey Clutch, returns to the podcast.

Previously, we spoke with him about kind of guided hunts in Alaska in general, and then a follow-up episode about hunting doll sheep in the Brooks range, which someone will be winning that hunt

as part of the experience challenge that we're doing. But the other hunt we're giving away

is also through Joey, and it is for mountain goats on Kodiak Island. And that's what we're

discussing today. We get into how Joey hunts mountain goats on Kodiak, the logistics of the hunt, what to expect, what makes it unique, what is different or not about hunting mountain goats, and a whole lot more.

I absolutely love mountain goats.

I've hunted them twice in Alaska, but never on Kodiak. And so I was

personally curious to hear about some of the differences on Joey's hunts and these later

hunts on Kodiak compared to what I had hunted in southeast Alaska. It was a great conversation

if you have any interest at all in hunting mountain goats or even learning more about Kodiak Island, it's such a special and unique place.

I know you'll enjoy this episode.
