On The Ground

This unit has a lot of roadless goat hunting terrain in and near the Mallard Larkins Pioneer Area. The Mallard Larkins Pioneer Area has 30,000-acres of roadless land that sits inside of another 260,000-acre roadless area.

Hunters can find some good goats here, but this is a small unit with a lot of rough and steep terrain. It’s almost entirely roadless and physically demanding country that requires long hikes and big climbs.

Terrain

This unit is a few miles east of Dworshak Reservoir between the North Fork of the Clearwater River and the Little North Fork of the Clearwater River. This area is mainly made up of steep, mountain land northwest of Black Mountain and southwest of Mallard Peak. Peaks in this area are roughly between 6,500 and 7,100 feet in elevation.

  • Roughly 31 square miles

  • 100% public land

  • Elevations from 2,800-7,100 feet

Most goats are found in higher elevations, where lichens, moss, wild grass, wildflowers, mushrooms, low trees, bushes and forbs grow. Scattered trees can also be found in these rugged areas. In lower elevations, there are more forests with lodgepole pines, western red cedars, western white pines, firs and western hemlocks. Sword, maidenhair, lady ferns and bear grass grow on the forest floor, with brush, saplings and aspen, growing on the edges of the meadows and timber cuts.

Hunters should plan to carry camp on their backs, hiking several thousand vertical feet to reach good goat country. The closest road access point can be found in the south, from Forest Road 705, which branches from Forest Road 700, along the North Fork of the Clearwater River.

  • ATVs are not necessary, but can make travel easier on some forest roads

  • Four-wheel-drive is recommended

Hunters should plan to backpack hunt this area. Trying to camp near a road or staying in a motel in a nearby town is not recommended for hunting mountain goats in this unit.
