Our hunting area north of Yellowstone National Park has excellent mountain goat habitat. Our mountain goat population is very robust and has been expanding its range and its population for over 15 years now. Several 9"+ billies have been shot in our hunting district in recent years. Ours is a very limited draw area, but Montana regulations do allow you to accumulate unlimited bonus points.
Mountain goat season in Montana runs from the middle of September until December 1st. It has been our experience that our goats are in their prime in early to mid-October. Beginning in late September the overnight temperatures drop considerably in our hunting area. This means that the goats put on their winter coat much earlier than in other areas. Our goats score well and are gorgeous trophies.
