ID Mountain Goat Unit 36

ID 36 – Terrain & Hunt Character ID 36 spans the high alpine terrain of central Idaho, ranging from 5,656 to 11,267 feet across 672,000 acres of entirely public land. Roughly one-fifth is designated wilderness, offering rugged backcountry habitat typical of mountain goat country—steep slopes, rocky outcrops, and sparse vegetation at elevation. The remaining terrain is accessible national forest and public lands, providing a mix of approached and untracked country. This is a backcountry hunt requiring physical fitness and self-sufficiency. Success depends on steep-country navigation, glassing expansive alpine basins, and the ability to move confidently in exposed, technical terrain..
