The state of Oregon is pleased to provide to HSCF the Special Rocky Mountain Goat Auction tag for the 2024 season.

This tag will be valid for four (4) months (Aug 1 – November 30, 2024) in any open hunt area with tags as listed in the 2024 Oregon Big Game Regulations.

Hunter must complete a mandatory orientation prior to the hunt and must check out through the local ODFW office near where the goat was harvested upon completion of the hunt.

Hunting Rocky Mountain goats in Oregon is an extraordinary opportunity with a variety of hunting conditions, high success, and amazing animal quality. Hunt areas range from full hard core backcountry hunting to hunt areas with relatively easy access.

In the last five years, 95% of Oregon goat hunters have been successful. Oregon hunts Rocky Mountain goats very conservatively. As a result, our hunt quality is high with an average score over 45” and 43% of the harvest animals green scoring at or above the Boone & Crockett minimum for record book entry (47”). Amazingly, 18% of harvested goats in the last 5 years are at or above the all-time record book minimum score of 50”, with our largest harvested goat scoring 54 3/8”.

Tags for Oregon goats are limited, with only two non-resident tags available in 2023.

The average auction sale price for this coveted tag, over the past five years, is $53,500. All funds generated from the special Rocky Mountain Goat Auction tag are statutorily dedicated specifically for Rocky Mountain goat management and research in Oregon. Ten percent of the purchase price is donated to HSCF.

The continued leveraging strength provided by these funds allows the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife to develop research and management programs critical for maintaining this highly desirable species on the landscape.

HSCF thanks the state of Oregon and The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for this donation.
