Joe: I am originally from Olympia WA, so seeing where you hunt, the type of terrain is similar to alot of what I used to hunt. I never goat hunted, just deer, elk, bear but now I hunt in the desert. It has spoiled me, I kinda like the moderate year round temperatures and the ability to see long distances. You really get into the optics game in the desert, probably like sheep/goat hunting. Also, instead of hypothermia I worry about heat exposure now..........LOL....... Allen Taylor......
