    If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.

    Not sure what MU you are going to hunt but if its in Norther BC Oct may be a little late only because of the weather. There will probably be snow and freezing temp so mountain climbing would be dangerous.

    I got my first goat August 15th, they do what goats do, chill in the cliffs. I got lucky and he came down to feed as we got within 300 yards. Lucked out.

    theres always that trade-off, early and no snow goats can be anywhere in their range, later the snows tend to push them lower, easier to spot maybe, more time on south slopes and possibly more within reach
    crampons are mandatory
    Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC

    Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC

    Best of luck - I'm quite jealous - It will be another year at least before I can start approaching a goat hunt. Do post pictures/stories when you get there.
