All applications, must arrive in the Cheyenne office by 5 p.m. mountain standard time (MST) on the deadline date. If the deadline is on a weekend or state holiday,applications received by 5 p.m. MST on the next business day will be accepted. Fees must be paid in full when the application is submitted. Unsuccessful applicants will be refunded their license fees minus the application fee.
As with bighorn sheep, drawing a license requires more than a little bit of luck.Once a permit is drawn, hunter success is very high, 100 percent in most years. There are no preference points for mountain goats since Wyoming law limits a hunter to one mountain goat license in a lifetime.
Mountain goats are hunted in two locations in Wyoming: the Beartooth Mountains north of Cody,and the Palisades area south of Jackson.
The Beartooth Mountains encompass some wilderness while the Palisades area is non-wilderness,allowing do-it-yourself hunts for the nonresident. Mountain goats must be checked and registered at a regional office or at the Cheyenne office within 15 days of harvest.
