The 2017 -21 Emperor goose season has been great for us with a 100% success for all our hunters. With fewer residents hunting expected as last we heard less than 500 total birds were harvested in all the areas Up to now by sport hunters . So hopefully we can get a few more permits released for nonresidents in the future. Since There has been no sport hunting for Emperor Goose since 1985 to let the populations rebuild. Presently there are between 60-80,000-Emperor geese flourishing on the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak Island and Aleutian Islands the exact numbers are hard to predict due to the large geographic area there live in. Recently with better management and higher survival rate the Emperor goose population is rebounding and the feds voted to allow for 1000 Emperor geese to be harvested during the 2017 season.

That is a great question ? As of Sept 1st 2017 Emperor Goose hunting is officially open to all Alaska residents sport hunting, And our hunters that we took out all harvested nice birds as we can report we went %100 success. Aleutian island Waterfowlers is off to a great start with 6 successful hunts guided by our staff in Cold bay bay with many more on the books coming . but the governmental agencies involved between the state of Alaska and the federal government are working on a temporary management plan which is supposed to be voted on the the state of Alaska governing body and a referendum should be published by June 1st 2017. Realistically there may be only a few available to the nonresident general public if any and more available to rural residents, local natives and subsistence users in designated areas including Coldbay, Nelson lagoon, Kodiak, Adak and Dutch Harbor along with some of the northern villages who have shown past use.
We will Offer Emperor Goose Hunting for residents of Alaska in 2022
As soon as the state of Alaska has come up with a final rule we will put our final hunt plans into effect as we are very sure between our 30 years of guide experience in all 4 of the locations with large Emperor populations that we will have the top Emperor Goose hunt available to the general public.
