I wouldn't go the outfitter route. Just find a area in WY with good BLM access. And do it yourself. I have killed alot of them. Generally If I wanted to bowhunt them I would come out for a week. Hunt them with a bow for 3-4 days then when rifl opens if you haven't gotten it done. Plug one and head home.

Public access, good optics, flat shooting rifle. That combo has put 8 Wyoming speed goats in the freezer for me.
If you guided in Colorado, you should be ahead of the curve on spot and stalk.

243 oughta work a speed goat over pretty well. I have never hunted them, but know some that have. They all use 243.
And dont buy into you have to have a 500 yard gun. The longest shot I have ever taken was 150 yards the shortest was 25 feet.

thanks guys for the info, just a goal in life to harvest one been searching BLM ground to hunt
That concept has always made me scratch my head too. I guess if you want to reach out and touch something you should take a sniper rifle but some people hunt them with a bow for Pete's sake. It's like saying you need a 500 yd gun for whitetails when most are taken inside of 50 ydOriginally Posted by Babe Winkleworm
Don't even go there. Can't we just say that most any deer rifle can double as a goat gun?
Longest shot 350 yards, closest 75 yards. If you just want a goat and don’t care about horns, shouldn’t have to shoot over 150 yards. If you want a good one, you might have to work a little and be prepared for longer shots. They don’t get big by being easy to shoot.
