I'm going to Oregon next year for elk with the guys that came up this year to go caribou hunting with us. I'll only be going for a week next year, so hopefully that will be enough. I'll probably be about 2 hours from Boise where I'll be hunting, but not exactly sure where since this is there spot they are taking me to. I'll be driving up from Vegas for the hunt.

I meant no disrespect about you taking the goat with the rifle. I would of given my buddies left arm for a 300 win mag while we were chasing goats. We got to within 80 yards, but like you were saying, there was no way to get any closer. Our problem was avalanches due to all the snow and changing weather. I'd like to get a goat under my belt, and then focus on going after them with bow only. I'm sure I'll find myself in the mountains again rifleless though, it always seems to work out that way.
