Mountain Goat Special Permits<br />
Who May Apply:<br />
Anyone, EXCEPT those who harvested a mountain goat in Washington in 1999 or later,<br />
this restriction is waived for raffle and auction hunts.<br />
Bag Limit:<br />
One adult goat of either sex with horns 4 inches or longer. WDFW encourages hunters to<br />
refrain from shooting nannies.<br />
Permit Season:<br />
Any legal weapon September 15 - October 31, except archers may begin hunting on<br />
September 1.<br />
Notes:<br />
The Department recently completed a mountain goat research project throughout<br />
the Cascade Mountain range. We now have a better understanding about the size<br />
and location of mountain goat populations, intermixing between sub-populations and<br />
sustainable harvest levels for each. We are now applying that new information to our<br />
mountain goat harvest strategies by managing hunted mountain goat populations as a<br />
collection of smaller sub-populations, where nanny groups may be fairly distinct, but billies<br />
have a greater potential to intermix. Ideally, harvest will be well distributed throughout a<br />
population, so no sub-populations are over harvested.<br />
As a precautionary step, the Director may open or close specific sub-populations, or<br />
reduce permit levels slightly, to protect from over harvest. Hunt Area maps are available<br />
online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/game_species/goat_sheep_moose/index.html.<br />
