My 11 year old son drew the North Chelan Goat Tag. Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated.
That’s some pretty serious country for an 11 year old.

how little points? Hopefully he has some legs. My biggest question is, do you know what you guys got yourself into? You either need A boat and a set of balls, or a game plan and stamina to climb out of the north country above the lake.My 11 year old son drew the North Chelan Goat Tag. Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Wow!! Congrats on the draw for your son. Investing in an outfitter/transporter seems like the best idea if you can afford it. Please keep us posted how it goes. Could be the adventure of a lifetime for him.

My son drew this goat tag with 4 points. Lucky little bugger! I’m sure we’ve got our work cut out for us. Leaning towards hunting the higher country closer to the Northern part of the unit. Still researching and considered our available options.
@Brandone
Any update on this?

Yeah, I was just wondering about this, too! Any updates?

Given the limited access and rugged terrain, I decided to book a fully guided mountain goat hunt for my son back in June with Early Winters Outfitters. As it turns out, Early Winters was a real fiasco to work with. They postponed my son's goat hunt the day before it was supposed to start, and then cancelled his hunt entirely about a week after that with no explanation whatsoever. At the end of the day, it was probably for the best based upon their lack of follow through and accountability. Needless to say, I would NOT recommend them to ANYONE.
However, we didn't let that get in our way. We spent a couple long weekends chasing goats in the high country and enjoying some amazing country. We located some goat in late September and early October, but unfortunately they were in areas that we could not physically get close enough to them for a shot, or retrieve them after a shot. Most importantly, my son and I have been spending some incredible time together in the mountains making memories together, which I wouldn't trade for anything.
We are planning to spend another week chasing goats by boat from Lake Chelan during the last two weeks of November. Hopefully the weather will move some goats down in elevation far enough that we can reach them by hiking up from the lake. We'll see how it pans out. No matter what, we are going to have fun making memories and trying to make it happen........ and we will probably catch a few trout just for good measure! I will keep you posted!

Good luck in November
It aint no joke that Aaron at Early Winters is the most unreliable packer in the state. Its a shame because I like him and Quinn

Excellent ending to that hunt. Would love to hear more details on it. Great big billy too.

Stalk in from the lake.
If not no worries. I just love some goat stories.

Congrats to the young hunter on an absolute stud of a billy. And for showing the persistence to make it happen.
