Title: Idaho Unit 27-2 Goat/Sheep
Post by: shanevg on March 29, 2016, 10:45:22 AM: Anyone here know anything about 27-2 for goat/sheep? Probably no surprise but I'm interested in goat hunting but I know a lot of sheep hunters have hunted it and seen goats in there. I'm thinking of applying this year and wondering how tough access is. I hear a lot of sheep hunters float the Salmon or backpack/horsepack 15+ miles to get into the unit. But Huntin' Fool says there is some goat access from Loon Creek Road.

Any input is appreciated!

Post by: grade-creek-rd on April 15, 2016, 03:07:33 PM: I haven't looked at the dates for the 27-2 hunt...but the upper loon Cr area CAN get snowed in pretty early in the year. Of course you can always fly in there if that happens. Just be prepared to leave early if the snow starts coming down!

PS. if you go in there, please forgo a weeks worth of Latte's and use that whopping $30 to buy a wolf tag!
