MT wilderness mountain goat tag

Montana Mountain Goat- at wits end

Long story short, i drew a Montana mountain goat tag and set off for what I was hoping to be up to a nine day long goat hunt only to find the one and only road into the district closed due to washed out bridge less than a mile into said district. I did the longest hike of my life yesterday...

I’m going to scout it in a week but as long as I can get my trailer in there I’ll probably take the critters.

Beautiful Idaho goat. What time of year did you kill him?

Thank you, it was the 3rd week of September.

Looks like the coat was pretty full, maybe not full winter but looks good. Asking because that is the same time frame that I am planning for my WA goat tag this fall.

Please don’t bring llamas or pack goats into that country.

That tag has quite the reputation on hunttalk for people asking for intel then, for a litany of reasons, the tag holder is unsuccessful. You’ve stumbled into a giant inside joke.

For the love of god kill a nice billy and post the story here to break the curse!

I wouldn’t bet against either of the two with this tag

Tent selection is critical though........

Seek outside has a much better customer service

@ismith is correct, but after you get a slash-proof tent, you need to find proper clothing. May I suggest, from the 2024 Fall Kenetrek catalog, the following:



Seriously, good luck and I look forward to hearing about your hunt.

Hey everyone I was extremely fortunate and drew unit 329 in the bearthooth wilderness! I’ve been in adjacent units and understood the ruggedness/remoteness of the terrain. I’ve taken an Idaho goat about 7 years ago so have a little experience hunting them, was wondering if anyone has any experience hunting in this unit that would be willing to discuss some info. Would like to keep details to PMs please, thanks for any help!

They don't hide, much, but the bulk of them are pretty far back. I'm sure any scouting trip will turn some up. Enjoy the tag, go early and go often!
