    You'd need a hunter host from BC or hire the services of an outfitter. Are you looking for info on guided hunts or are you planning one with a BC resident to host you?

    Pick your zone carefully.
    Much like sheep (which remain on the application list) they and goats are now Verboten for Non-Res Hunter Hosted pursuit in a handful of areas (NOT spelled out in the Regs btw)..

    Just a Head's Up...

    There is no open season for sheep (of any sort) on the hunter host program in BC. They are still on the list of species non-residents can hunt, but it must be via an outfitter. Show me where it says sheep are eligible game on a hunter host program and I will eat my words.

    On another note, to the original poster, region 6 would be your best bet for a really nice goat. They can be had elsewhere, but your chances are much better in 6.

    Here is a link that will show you which regions are eligible. Unfortunately it looks like there are no opportunities in reg 4.

    The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

    All he's saying is there is a list of which zones the province will allow Permit to Accompany hunts to take place for goats. Ensure you pick a zone on that list and you will be ok. They just don't give them out for every zone, and specifically not zones where residents are on LEH

    Pick a region six spot where there are a pile of goats and you will be good to go. they give you a choice of three units to pick from and some of those region six units are huge and full of goats. Like, can't swing a dead cat without hitting a goat.
