Looks like odds of about 1 in 1300.Points matter, but your odds still suck. I have 27 sheep points. Squared that’s 729 against the guy that has 1. Having said that, my odds of drawing still suck big time and you were very close last year!! But one year I was first looser, following year, around 2,000 with over 20 points!

Man... I REALLY hate to be THAT guy.... but when I am 85 and finally draw, I am going to say neener, neener, neener and die trying to just get to the trailhead... BUT, I'll have a tag
Got to do it once in 1984, friend drew a tag, I got a refund and paid fuel....Toughest hunt I ever did..You think elk like to die in some nasty places?.I was happy just to get off that cliff..

Quote from: RB on April 20, 2022, 10:12:09 AMBoulder River North would be my guess. Drew the tag in 2016, walked the trail to Goat Flats on Three fingers and shot a near nine inch Billy. Having a trail to work from really helps! I did spent a few months dieting and stair climbing so that helped. I was 47 at the time and it really kicked my ass, even after working out. I did it solo and it took nine hours to get back to my truck on the pack out. Had to drop equipment halfway was just too much, my pack was over 100 pounds, and I was hand carrying a bag of stuff that would not fit on, or in my pack.Biggest thing I would do different is spend more on a bigger pack, and use walking sticks. When I went back a couple days later to retrieve my gear I brought them along and was a huge improvement getting up the trail. I think I heard there was a newer washout on the road in that adds several miles to the trek in. @addicted

A lot of talk about the guy that likely can't do a goat hunt, what about all the guys that could do (1) day and likely wake up the next day and be so sore they would bow out If you got weak ankles or knees or back? Don't even try! Best thing a person could do is go up to goat country this summer for a day and take a look.
I think there are several hunts some people can’t physically and or even mentally do
