Great site! I am new here, appreciate the passion.
My problem is one that I have not had to deal with before....
I bought an archery moose/ goat hunt in BC for next month earlier this year. Hunting an area that has never been hunted before (in fact, the guide doesn't think a hunter has been in there since the Klondike). Then, a month ago, I get a call from Wa Fish and Game that I drew the Goat raffle tag this year. "Do you want to accept the tag?" Duh--
This tag entitles me to hunt from Sept 1 through Dec 12, in any unit that has at least 2 draw tags. I live in Walla Walla, and just don't have the time to get up to Mt Baker, so will be hunting Goat rocks.
I will be in Canada Oct 2-17, and have planned to hunt local goats in the Goat Rocks the first week of November. Work is killing me, and I have been able to do very little scouting. I will fly it this weekend, and have poured over google earth and the maps. Called a couple biologists and have some thin leads. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanks

my brother drew in 07 and got a 8 1/2 goat out of the goat lake area. awesome country.

Don't waste your time in the Goat Rocks. You're better off spending a few extra hours driving up to the Mt. Baker units.

Send a PM to Norsepeak, he may be able to help.
He may be in Oregon elk hunting still, so he may not get back right away.
