Mountain Goat in Montana Unlimited Sheep Areas

[Montana_Wanderer]

I'm not getting any younger so I was planning to start applying for mountain goat districts with slightly better odds than where I usually apply. Looking at the districts around the park as 18 points gives me a chance at least. I have never participated in the unlimited sheep hunt, but have heard areas can get a bit crowded. Solitude is at top of my list when I hunt so I tend to hike far and choose less desirable hunting destinations to get away from people.

Curious, if any of you have some insight on what the pressure is like in the unlimited sheep units. If you were applying for a goat tag would you avoid these areas for a better experience? Or is there so much country it really isn't an issue?

Appreciate the help!
