goat question
kkc66:
what is the easiest goat unit to hunt goat in if your big guy If I draw :chuckle: ? I was a lot smaller 20 years ago when i stated to put in for a goat tag
Karl Blanchard:
This is something that people don't like to talk about but kind of needs talked about. I think so many guys aren't honest with themselves about their physical abilities. At some point people need to call it on applying for these type of hunts (not saying you specifically kk, just a general statement). These are very special hunts. Hunts 99.9% of us will never hunt in our lifetimes, so I urge everyone to self reflect on their own capabilities and if you think you can tackle it go for it and if you are lucky enough to draw, do the tag the justice they deserve. Put in the work. Shoot, get in shape, and scout. And if need be solicite help from others.
I'd be willing to bet a decent percentage of applicants have no business applying for goat tags from a physical stand point. I'm not familiar with any of the northern goat units but as for the yakima area they are all pretty darn physical. I wouldn't put any one easier than the others.

I would apply in a unit that you can hire an outfitter in.
Have said guide haul your a$$ up to a tent on a horse and then walk a ridge.
Just my 2 cents.

agreed. Probably should have added "be willing to pay up" to my list of do whatever it takes to honor the opportunity :tup:

Man, this sure is the truth. I know of guy that had a Yakima area tag a couple years ago, drove up to his hunt area and basically said "no way". Luckily a buddy wouldn't let him do that and they killed a goat. It would have been a wasted tag had it not been for a generous hunter.
