I picked up a last minute RG890 Goat tag for Knik Alaska Area, friday creek, Metal creek etc etc. I went out saturday, glassed friday creek and metal creek and all the mountain faces pretty well and saw about 150 Sheep, but thats it, no Goats. We have an early snowfall this year it seems and the snow is deep on the mountains so that kinda squashed a lot of my hiking plans to get way up top. I guess Im just not geared up probably, No snowshoes or Crampons, so I guess hiking up through feet of snow is out. I realize that may be whats required if I really want a goat, but I was wondering if anyones had success finding some Goats down low, does deep snow push them down very far or do they literally thrive in the steep and deep all winter?. Id like to go out again this weekend. i guess I should include that I will be on ATV and on foot, Planes and a drop off are not in the cards right now. This is my very first attempt at Goat hunting so I'm in a new world here. Thanks for any advice.
