If you are hunting mountain goats in the same unit you helped my wife out with a few years ago, I am happy to return the favor with info as I hunted it last year. My buddy drew it this year so I will be down there scouting again for his hunt. Looking forward to seeing your hunt unfold.

No, there is a seven year wait before you can apply again, if you draw a sheep, goat, or moose permit. I drew a goat permit back in 1977. The bonus point system was established in 2000.
