The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has issued an emergency closure to goat hunting seasons in the area bounded by the Kleheni River on the north, the Tsirku River on the south, the Canadian border on the west and the Chilkat River on the east side in Game Management Unit 1D. This order is already in effect.
The guideline harvest level for mountain goats has been reached, prompting hunting closure in this area. The remainder of Unit 1D mountain goat seasons, other than those previously closed by emergency order, are unaffected by this closure.
