Deer Thug helped me out immensely. I'd like the opportunity to do the same for someone else.

Post by: Learmedic on July 02, 2018, 12:46:23 PM: Sorry, I have been working all weekend.

I have to apologize to the thread. :bash: This was my first time on this forum and as a new member I just did a search for Goat rocks 2018 and found this. I didn't 't realize it was "for other big game" (a buddy informed me of that).

I drew the Quality Elk Goat Rocks tag, not the Goat tag. Again, sorry and I feel bad for all of you that spent the time to send me personal messages about the Goats. I will hand onto them however, in case I do draw the goat tag some year

And yes, great video of the Goat Hunt!!

That's all I got.

It was the last weekend in September I believe. We were up high and mostly out of the trees.

Post by: DeerThug on July 02, 2018, 03:51:17 PM: I saw quite a few elk in there in the summer a few deer too. About half way up the trail it bends to the west. Go off trail into the basin below goat lake north / eastish... In the timber and then into the basin to the east. Easy hike and good trails.
