I was lucky enough to draw a mountain goat in the sawtooths, we spent our first scouting trip this weekend.
I have heard early season the goats aren't as visible, that being said we saw a few nannies with kids, We found tracks and sign in several areas we hiked into. Most of the goats we saw were lower (~7K) although we saw sign up to 9200 ft.
When do the goats start to spend more time in the open? Should I be focusing on North slopes more early? Is it an early morning/Evening game? What specifically should I be looking for.
