Access is good to most of it, definatly not as many goats in there as there use to be but still a few left. I know lots of people with that draw this year, I would suggest hunting in november.

Success rates are only 5% based on the number of authorizations issued, but is about 20% for those who actually work at it, but be prepared for some hard work. Bayou is right, the numbers of permits offered is based on a population estimate of 160 which is suspect in my mind also.

I think if you cut the estimate number of 160 in half you would still be high for this zone.
Laurence good luck on your hunt do you have a rough idea when your heading there, might know where some will be, but like I said would suggest last half of november.

I was thinking we would hit it somewhere around the opening ,for a few days.It should be cooler on the mountain than it is here .lol
