[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2189835, member: 5429"] Really cool that you drew a tag, great critters to hunt and incredible country to hike in! I've been on 3 goat hunts in Montana, all 3 we did in November, not sure I'd reccomend that as they were a bit too sporting... That said, I think that the hair quality is important, to me a short haired goat is not a trophy I'd want on the wall. I'd check into what time of fall their hides will be haired up and try to make a go around that. On the hunts I've been on I've not found them tough to find, what has proven to be tough though is finding one in a place where we could safely get it to, kill it with one shot, and kill it in a place where they don't pitch off into the abyss and where they can be recovered! I've spoken to a lot of successful goat hunters over the last 43 years and far and away the shooters that took the goats down quickest were using 22/250's and Swift and .243. Brute power isn't always the answer:) Just a thunk Have a super hunt and keep us in the loop, what a great experience you're in for! [/QUOTE]
