I'll get points in AZ, CO, UT, NV, WY, MT,
I may apply for some tags in NM,
This year is mostly going to be points, next year should be applying for everything.
Didn't get my mountain goat. Passed on a ok billy day 2. Made 2 trips from out of state to MT. Was trying to time a weather window on the 2nd trip, but snow just kept building up and just couldn't really get to them on foot.
I had planned to be done Goat hunting if successful, now I'm a bit...
Congrats!
Did you pack it out yourself? any idea on the weight or how many loads/trips you made?
What cartridge were you shooting?
I passed up a billy, I'm starting to question if I should have... long season in MT though, hoping to get back there and get'er done!
Tough hunting!
Not sure if it's spot hog, or who makes a 2 pin adjustable archery sight?
or if anyone has a recommendation, I seem to recall someone you set your 20 and 50yd pin and they provide an adjustment sticker out to 100yds etc...
Thanks!
A little help needed.... if anyone knows of the following....and ideally someone they'd actually recommend using even better.
Hopefully going to need a place to take the Mtn.Goat after being successful,
Plan is to freeze the skull and hide and travel home to my taxidermist with it, but he told...
Is this in the UP?
Been gaining points for a long while now, not sure when I'll try to draw, or if I should, bow, gun, or diy/guide/dogs?
good luck, keep us posted.
I'm pretty surprised at this point that sheep, goat and moose aren't a once in a lifetime tag in all western states.
Particularly if it's a successful hunt.
PS- what about wilderness areas already....those are 100% outfitter draws already in a sense!? does that mean 50% could now not require an outfitter in wilderness areas?
side note, if there's No outfitter registered in a particular unit then what?? lol. can't apply? goat unit 393 for example...
I keep saying it... if money is their goal... just raise tag fees for ALL. Think elk tag supply will increase if residents have to pay $1000.
1 pot, everyone applies...
Anyone have a reasonable priced tripod option for a spotting scope?
If you have a link to a website or amzn that would be great.
thanks in advance, appreciate it!
I'm pretty much all in on DIY MT mountain goat. already having a few hiccups but staying positive and planning to make it happen come hell or high water!
PS- I'm also planning to win a spotting scope... 😁 fingers crossed. any positivity/luck that can be thrown my way, is appreciated.
I"m 41, but have quite a few points in most western states... I could go on 1 western hunt a year....and probably be good until I'm older...
I'm getting to the point where Im trying to burn my points on good/great units... and probably not reapply for the same areas or points again unless I...
I need a pack for this MT mtn goat hunt this fall...
kinda like the mystery ranch metcalf but all my research has been online.... not a lot of places to try these on around here...
this pack is a 71 liter / 4335cu.in. size...
only exterior pockets for spotting scope I really see are the top...
that amazon anyhoo looks good.
I was looking for a rain jacket and maybe pants....I have some older goretex browning stuff....but feel in a soaking downpour it may fail....
looked at some popular camo raingear online....$350/700 for the jacket/combo!? that's just pretty crazy to me.... seems...
trying to figure out if when I can scout....this summer....or perhaps august...., not sure when I'll hunt....sept...oct... or year perhaps just take more time to hunt and scout in the same trip.
I did. Bridgers 393.
Wasn't in my plans to.
debating diy vs guided, couldn't find any registered guides for goats in unit 393 Montana.
also strongly considering bow.... vs rifle.?
