Fortunately, if you do draw everyone who knows the area you draw will come out of the wood work to help :tup:
Another refrense could be checking out successful hunts in GRW and seeing if you can find the ridges/areas billies were taken by the background.

Unless your going to pony up for the governors tag I wouldn't worry to much about scouting. 1000+ people per tag. I doesn't really matter how many points you have the likelyhood of drawing is closer to 0 than 5%..maybe 2.5%

Sure glad I hunted them in the early 70's we could get a tag every couple years. Almost buy them over the counter for those stinky Antelope.

I drew with 19 point you that close :) I hunt both sides this year lots and lots of goats biggest thing is to draw the tag

I admit, I've only got 10 points for each of three OIL's - not enough to get overly excited yet. But, then again, the reg's list most of the goat hunts as drawing with an average of 10-11 points. This next year is the first year I'll actually have the time to make a real try for it, so instead of just applying for the point, I'm going to actually try & draw a real hunt. Yes, I'm resigned the fact that it might take another 9+ years to actually draw. Sounds like that's more probable than drawing with only 10 points. But, for me, a lot of the fun is in the preparation... And, I've read there's elk to be had in there too, so while preparing for goat, perhaps I'll gain some knowledge on the area for elk while I'm at it.
Thanks for the pic time2hunt! Nice goat!

It has been for a few years.
I have drawn twice.
The first in 84 and the second in 99 which was the last year they made it once
In a lifetime.
My suggestion is of course keep putting in and pray you get lucky.
there really is nothing like a Mtn goat hunt.
Steep and rugged country and the once you have put some
Lead in one, you better hope it was a great anchor shot because
All of the stories you have heard about goats being the toughest
Animals Pound for pound to put down is true.
Best of luck in your permit dream.
Every hunter should have the awesome experience of hunting
These majestic animals once in their life.

Im curious, what amount of points does it take to get serious about the hunt..Ive been serious for 17 years :chuckle:With maximum points your odds will be around .5% for that tag. With less than maximum your odds will be less. You will have to decide if that is enough to get serious.
