I spent a lot of time in Goat Rocks when I drew the goat tag in 2000. Put well over 100 miles on the boot leather scouting. Awesome place, saw a fair number of elk, a few decent bulls but nothing huge. Some of that country would be a real chore to get an elk out of. Most of the elk I saw were at least 5 miles in, and down in some real holes.

If I was to put in for a hunt it would be this one. Not sure why but I have always wanted to hunt up there.

If you think you are in pretty good shape---you better get in better shape!!
After archery the bulls are pretty smart to bugling and are only bugling at night if at all.
Oh and did I mention- get in shape!!!
I will probably see you up there. No I didn't draw but I spend a lot of time hiking.

i drew this tag this year. How did your 2014 West Goat Rock elk hunt turn out?  did you kill a bull, if so how big? Also, what areas did you hunt within the unit?

2014 4 of the 5 hunters reported. 2 harvested 5+pt bulls.
The hunt is what you make it. Put in more effort than you think and it should be an awesome time.

I wouldn’t hold out for anything , hunted goat rock all my life. Lucky to see a elk track anymore. Best of luck, but hate to see you eat tag over holding out for something that is no a reality anymore. Maybe 10 years ago.
