I also have an appreciation for the Mountain Goat. I had a tag in Utah last year and was instructed, by my brother, to read "a beast the color of winter". The author isn't much on hunting but he observed the beast with passion and shared his experiences with us.
I Loved every aspect of my hunt even more when I observed goat behavior with a bit more knowledge.
Have a good hunt flyingbrass, success on you, be safe!

BTW; I can't be of any real help since I have no knowledge of your area (it sounds like other people are in-the-know) but I couldn't resist commenting about this cool animal.
