Idaho Goat

[nwhunter]

So I made a 180 on my Idaho app and instead of moose with pretty good odds of drawing I decided to try for mt. goat again with miserable odds. However the odds are way better than here in Wa so figure it is probably my best hope of hunting goat without going north. I figure I can hunt moose when I am old but goats probably better get er done while I got good legs. If I get my $2100 refund check back I won't be to dissapointed though....ouch. Anyones else in for goats in Idaho? Good luck in the draws. nwhunter

Not in for goat, I went the moose option. Good luck with goat!

I'm in for goat.  I've got my moose, it was 1600 at the time.  Now its goat.  I think this is year 3 for me.  Better odds than Washington, course you have better odds of winning mega millions

[bowtech721]

are there many areas left anywhere where you can hunt goats OTC? like BC or AK?

[videoman]

This is my 4th yr for goat and I think my last yr.  I have done the math and I am better off just paying for a goat hunt in ak or bc than putting in for idaho.

[nwhunter]

Ya its spendy! I have my idaho lifetime license so am only out the permit fee if I don't draw but fronting over 2 grand hurts. Hopefully someone on here will draw. nwhunter

Too spendy for me this year, but my bro-in-law who live's in Boise is in and I would love to live my dream hunt through him.  It would be his first hunt ever, so quite the way to break someone in!

If I draw Shanevg your more then welcome in my camp.

Thanks for the offer, I might just take you up on that!   

[boneaddict]

I'm in in Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington.   I can't remember, but might have been in for Utah as well.  Might be cheaper to MOVE to Canada

  EH

[boneaddict]

Being from tHe Methow, I actually say that more than I'd like.    Love Strange Brew too. 

[carpsniperg2]

  i have been seeing some canadian bashing on here a bit lately and got into a little myself for the guys remarks aginst uncle ted. but you have enough friends on here bone that we will let it slide

[boneaddict]

I am ALL American, though with the lack of people, the quanity  and quality of game and Barrack and Gregiore as my leaders..........sure makes a guy wonder.

[carpsniperg2]

amen to that, you can take canada and i will take new zealand has crossed my mind once or twice already

[boneaddict]

I'd like to tackle that one with my fishing rod.

I know a guy over there.....

[andrew_12gauge]

i applied for idaho goat, didnt have to shell out as much as you guys all did, now that the app period is over what units did everyone put in for if youre not afraid to divulge that info, i put in for 39 just because of the proximity to home for me, i think any goat would be a trophy

[videoman]

18 for me

[shanevg]

I put in for goat in Utah, Montana, Colorado, and WA.  Still a few years away from Wyoming and Idaho but it'll happen soon. 

I also say "eh" quite a bit being from Lynden and all.     I have no shame to say I would love to move to BC!  (doesn't get any better than being able to shoot a mountain goat every year!)

[nwhunter]

Unit 22 for me.nwhunter

[NWTFhunter]

Goat or No Goat.... You wouldnt catch me moving to Canada !  I would do in the sticks Ak in a second before I gave up my freedom of speech.

I was talking with one of the lancasters a few yrs back and he said for $400 he bought a dall sheep, stone sheep, grizzly bear, black bear, wolf, mountain goat, whitetail, mule deer and moose tags.  It would cost us just under $130,000.  I forgot the caribou tag.

Awesome!

I'm in 18 as well.

Well with Great grandparents who moved to Montana from Quebec, a french last name and having grown up in Whitefish, Mt. (Alberta's winter playground)  I'm damn near Canadian myself.  With the current state of affairs here, the hunting and fishing opportunities in BC and Alberta.  Believe me, the thought of a mid 50's retirement to Canada is weighing more and more on my mind.  Having a real tough time dealing with the idea I'd have to leave my pistols here in the US however.

Back to the original question, not in on Idaho, but in on Montana and Washington.  One of these days gonna quit applying and just book a Goat hunt on Kodiak or in BC.

I didnt do Idaho this year but Ill apply for one of there goat tags from here on out.

[Todd_ID]

Anybody on here apply for goat in 10 and gets drawn, let me know because I can point out some pretty good coordinates.
