Washington mountain goat

This billy was taken in the Goat Rocks Wilderness Area last Sept. Not a huge goat but any goat in WA. is a trophy.

i expect that hunt to be tough but how tough are we talking, how many miles in and how rugged?

I can't answer your questions. All I did was mount the goat.

I have hiked up into the area that it was taken. It's about 11 miles in and not a bad hike. But getting to the goats can be tough depending where they are.

like you said any goat is a trophy hard earned in this state, i sure wish i could draw a dang tag but since i am only 22 turning 23 sunday i guess i am still young.

You've got lots of time. Start building points in MT. Your odds are alot better there than they are here in WA. Happy birthday!

I don't know why getting a goat here would be any harder than any other state.... we have tons of goats, and plenty of nice ones.  We have better quality goat population than most other states in the lower 48.  I am not saying it is an easy hunt, but not any harder than anywhere else.

i was talking about getting the tag. not saying anything about goat numbers. but they are a great trophy regardless.

Okay, I understand, and yes, that is a great goat!  Congrats to the hunter!

Great looking mount, I really gotta find a way to get one of those.
