You are lucky for sure. A mountain goat tag here in NV is my dream tag.
Good luck on your hunt.

Congratulations!

Yep, I had that tag last year. Awesome experience. It's not as easy as it sounds, but if you put in the work you should be able to find a nice billy to put a tag on.

Here's a link to my blog post on my hunt - http://padens.blogspot.com/2014/10/2014-wyoming-mountain-goat-hunt.html

A post from earlier in the year on a scouting trip - http://padens.blogspot.com/2014/08/scouting-for-mountain-goats.html

Let me know if you have any questions I would be happy to help. If you do some searching there are a few other guys that have had the tag that were also helpful in sharing information with me.

Good luck and most importantly have fun and enjoy the tag. It's a true once in a lifetime deal, you can't apply again!

Good luck to you and enjoy the whole trip from start to finish! Start taking photographs as soon as you start scouting and hiking to the very end of your hunt. If you take lots of photographs you might have enough to fill one album full. It will be a really cool way to memorialize your hunt. Best of luck and be safe! What rifle will you be using???

Thanks for all the congrats! I'm going to do it with a bow. I've already taken a great goat in BC in 2011 with a bow. That hunt only lasted 20 minutes once we got the tent set-up. I did an article in Eastmans EBJ and it was thier magazine in 2012.

I love DIY but it's really hard to draw in the lower 48 and I wasn't getting any younger. They've always been on my bucket list of must do hunt.

I still can't believe I get another opportunity to do it again. This time on my own!

Headed up tomorrow for the archery opener Saturday the August 15. I've been up in my area three times in the past few months. Saw a few but nothing worth shooting. Will be hunting for two weeks.
