I grew up in area 6 and still hunt there every year andhave had alot of success with goats. There are a ton of goatsand can easily find anything from the 13 -14 1/2 range without hunting to hard. Anything over fifteen you will have to hunt harder for but can be done. I would suggest definately going out for the opener because the goats get pretty stired up after the first weekend. Are you going to be hunting public or private?
