Well… 2006 was my first ever year to put in for the BC Limited Entry Hunting Draw. And low and behold I guess a little beginners luck kicked in and I was drawn for Mountain Goat in the Skeena region 6-15A with 60 other people who were drawn.
In all reality I’ll bet a little under 50% of the hunters drawn will actually make the trip. But I could be wrong. I am excited as this is a very good area to be drawn in and there is slightly more access to the area then in surrounding LEH goat areas. The potential for a decent Billy is really high if I put the work in.
The draw was yesterday and I have already made loose plans to go on a Goat hunt with a friend that I met through a popular BC hunting website called HuntingBC.Ca. He was drawn in the area right next to mine and invited me to come along with him in January of 2007.
Hopefully as the date gets closer I’ll know for sure if this hunt is going to happen or not. If I go I will document the trip with pictures, video and a good story for the site and my readers. It would be awesome to take a really late season long haired Billie.
I also put in LEHS for Caribou, Island Elk, Buffalo, Grizzly Bear & Bighorn Sheep but was unsuccessful.
And I also purchased several of the special sheep and elk permits which have yet to be drawn.
Happy Hunting!
Carl
