Pharmseller,
Congratulations on drawing an Oregon antelope tag, not an easy thing to do!
I haven't hunted Oregon goats, couldn't draw a tag.
I have hunted goats many times in northern Nevada, just across the border from Oregon.
One interesting thing I found is while the valley's hold the majority of goats, the hills and even the mountains hold many trophy goats.
They are much easier to hunt in the hills as you can usually stalk much closer, 300yds should be easy.
Getting within 300yds in the valley's can be more of a challenge, especially if there is any hunting pressure.
I did hunt sheep a few years ago in south east Oregon and found several trophy goats hangin as high as the sheep, so my Nevada experiences seem to hold true in Oregon also?
Good luck with your hunt and hope you get a trophy, Oregon goats are well represented in the trophy books.
Learn to judge goats, practice to 300yds and don't shoot the first goat that looks good!! the real big ones look big.
