I have no interest in Mountain Goats, but if somebody else does, Babine Outfitters in B.C. is a great place to go. They get guys P&Y goats with the bow every year. http://www.babineguides.com/ I believe they are booked for the next few years for Goat hunts, but you could book now for a few years in advance.

Also, I can think you buy preference points as well, instead of actually applying.

Yea, I am only allowed 2 days of in December too. But i think it runs through 12/31, in which case I could parlay my 2 days off in with some holidays and weekend to get out there a little longer. My Mt. Lion Guide said a friend of his has a daughter who got drawn in his first year! They got her a 180" ram on the 1st day. He said they are pretty dumb animals lol.

I think I am going to start putting in for the Sheep drawing in Arizona. Nothing to lose, I think its $7-$10 each year. It’s a once in a lifetime tag and odds are very small. However, if you get drawn, outfitters only charge $4-$5K and success is pretty damn close to 100%. It all sounds very similar to the PA Elk drawing. The Sheep tag is $1,400, but you only pay if you get drawn. So really it’s the only way I would ever get a sheep, because I would never pay $15-$50K to go on a sheep hunt. Anybody else apply each year?

No problem, thats definitely not the case with me. I always tell the guides in advance of the physical condition I am and that I have no restrictions. Thanks to this, I have been able to take some very nice trophies. My lion and bobcat hunts I had to hire a guide, as I don't have dogs, etc. Both of my unsuccessful wolf hunts, I hunted alone. The guide just showed me a spot and I drove his truck to and from each day. There's only 1 hunt I could have done a DIY and that was my trip to Wyoming for Mule Deer/Antelope. However, my Dad (59 y/o) wanted to come with me and see me hunt out west, so he paid a portion of my hunt. I was going to turn that down! lol. In PA, I do a semi-guided hunt. I get lodging and food for the week for $600 and some tips on where to hunt state-land. I hear you. I wanted to cry after I got my mt. lion in Arizona. 2 trips and 11 total days of falling down bluffs, putting 10+ miles on a day by foot, and worrying about snakes, killer bees, etc....I'm happy I stuck it out and got a Tom, because I have no reason to ever do another lion hunt. I could have chose the easier the route and hunted lions in snow in Colorado, or Canada, but I wanted something different. I like seeing different parts of the U.S. & Canada.

Gimme a break. I don't have the time to make multiple trips to 1 state to scout. When you factor in all the $ you spend, its probably not far off from a guide. Your DIY mule deer is no better than mine. You know the land u hunt, I hunt with a guy who knows the land. Nobody carried my gun or made the 330 n 440 yd shots for me. I think ur style is great. However, is rather spend 4 separate weeks in 4 different states than always going back to the same place to scout, etc. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Great buck!

Comes with the territory of living there. My uncle lives in the city of boulder Colorado and dogs get snatched up by lions time to time. My cousins who bike to school, learn in school what to do if they come across a bear or lion when riding on bike. Boulder is not a small city either. The animals come down off the mountains<br /><br />Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

I would just curious if anyone used one. Not looking to book anything at this time.<br /><br />Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

Thanks for the help. My taxidermist is a booking agent, so If I used one I would probably use him.<br /><br />Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

Yes, I know there is a ton of public. I was just curious if anyone used an outfitter. I'm honestly not interested in researching OTC units, then studying topo maps and aerial photos, renting a truck, researching motels/hotels, low success chances of getting an animal, and then if I do I would be packing out a 300lb mule deer by myself, etc.....If I am going to pay for the flight and licenses, I'd rather pay to stay with an outfitter than worry about saving a few bucks and paying myself for a truck, motel, food, etc. I'd only have 5-6 days to get it done anyway. I can't go out there for 10+ days. Otherwise it might be a different story.
