Where to Find Mountain Goat in Unit G142
Montana FWP's material on unit G142 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its mountain goat live. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Flathead County.
The lines of the unit: Lodgepole Creek, Continental Divide and Kevan Mountain
Montana FWP draws unit G142 in Flathead County with a boundary that runs on USFS Trail 179, USFS Trail 359, USFS Trail 109 and USFS Trail 83, and on Lodgepole Creek, Continental Divide, Kevan Mountain and Switchback Pass, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.
High ground inside the line: Corrugate Ridge, Trilobite Peak and Bowl Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Corrugate Ridge at 8,252 feet, Trilobite Peak at 8,237 feet, Bowl Mountain at 8,187 feet, Bighorn Mountain at 8,163 feet and Wrong Ridge at 8,138 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Goats need cliff, and on this ground the cliff is where the hunt happens.
Holding ground: Gateway Gorge, Grizzly Park and Grimsley Park
Below them sit Gateway Gorge at 5,945 feet, Grizzly Park at 5,734 feet, Grimsley Park at 5,527 feet, Gooseberry Park at 5,292 feet and Wapiti Park at 5,195 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

Mountain Goat Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no mountain goat row for unit G142 that we can read back to this unit on its own. Where the agency reports a unit inside a grouping, or prints a table our parser cannot resolve to a single column, we leave the number out rather than publish a statewide average as though it had been measured here. Montana FWP's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.
Mountain Goat Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rifle — General either sex (resident) | 1 | 121 | 0.8% | — |
Data from 2025 draw results. Each row is one residency pool — read the label before the number. This agency publishes no point thresholds, so the Pts column stays blank and these are pool odds, not what a point total draws.
Open in Draw Odds EngineMontana FWP's draw recap has no mountain goat record we can tie to unit G142. That usually means the licence is sold over the counter, is issued under a hunt code covering several units, or was not offered in the years we hold. Rather than estimate a point requirement, we leave it blank — check Montana FWP's own draw recap for the hunt code you mean to apply for.
