Into the Beartooth - Goat hunt in HD 316

[Mtnhunter1]

Well - I am new to this as well, but just found out today I drew this tag! Don’t know if I should post updates on this thread or a new one. Nervous to commit though, the last two guys that drew it left y’all hanging a bit!

Welcome and congrats on the goat tag.

No requirement to commit, but if you do, please complete the story. Other wise we would just figure that you got eaten by a grizz or fell off a cliff.

Good Luck

LMFAO here we are again maybe 3rd times a charm. Good luck Garrett may the force be with you. Give us a story and a little background some people on here have spent a considerable amount of time in that area.

Its nice up there. As the others said, hopefully we get a finished story.

What's your game plan?

What's your game plan?

I am going to start doing some trips down there in July as the snow comes off. I live relatively close so I should get some great trips in before September 1st.

I’ll start hunting on the opener as well. I understand people waiting until later in the year for longer hair, but to me the gamble isn’t worth the risk.

At that point - I’ll plan on staying in weekly increments - my employer is very supportive when it comes to taking time off for hunting. Definitely looking for a mature Billy, but I am not a trophy hunter either.

Per someone else’s advice, I’ll start a new thread when I start scouting and post the link here for you all to follow along.

I also drew a cow moose tag in the 330. So I’ll post updates on that as well.

I would also vote to close this thread and not have it lit up again

@LopeHunter got a tag, chimed in here, started and finished a thread and even though he didn't end up with one it was a great read for us poor suckers that can't draw.

MT 316 Goat adventure

There are times when I am so lucky that even I wonder if is but a dream. I drew a non-resident Mountain Goat tag for Montana this year. As is typical for me, I have never set foot in 316 though have worked the phones, forums, prior hunter lists, watched goat hunt videos of that part of Montana...

Hi all! I was soliciting info in an older thread about goat hunting in that area. It seems, like many others, the hunter got a little info and then departed the forum. In response to my inquiry, @EYJONAS! challenged me to finish the thread by substituting my story. I started doing that there but have decided this would probably be more accessible in a post of its own.

Accordingly, I'll be posting updates here going forward. Expect a few updates leading up to the hunt followed by an account of the hunt, successful or not. When I first joined Hunttalk in 2014, it was the story threads that attracted me. Most of us here spend many more days thinking, planning, and daydreaming about hunting than days we are actually in the field. These posts before, during, and after were always entertaining and in a strange way I would start to feel like I was apart of a hunt.

For newer guys, an excellent example of a thread like that is this one by @Randy11. Dig into it for some fun. This thread won't grow to anything that epic, but I do hope to provide some entertainment and welcome your comments, suggestions, complaints, or encouragement.

Buckle up for a fun ride.

Just delete this thread please...... its broken.

Be proud of that goat tag!

It was hard to tie a goat permit onto 2 cartons of Cottonballs soaked in a gallon of ketchup. That's all that was left after he shot it on a cliff and it's hard to finish that story here without expecting to be heinously ridiculed.
