Although Rocky Mountain goats can be hunted in roughly 20 different units in Idaho, the overall goat numbers are not high. Small groups of goats live in many units across the central mountains and panhandle region. Idaho mountain goats generally live in very rough and remote terrain and will require hunters to be in good physical shape to hunt them. Many areas are so remote that backpacking or horseback is the only way to access, while other areas allow goats to be found from a road. A big goat in Idaho can reach 10” in horn length, but average goats harvested will be around 8”. Very few nonresident tags are drawn annually so luck will be needed to pick up a tag.
