Where to Find Mountain Goat in Unit G240
What Montana FWP publishes for unit G240 is a boundary, not a mountain goat map. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Ravalli and Missoula counties.
The lines of the unit: Tin Cup Creek and Dick Creek
Montana FWP draws unit G240 in Ravalli and Missoula counties with a boundary that runs on Highway 93 and Highway 12, and on Tin Cup Creek and Dick Creek, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: El Capitan, Saint Joseph Peak and Como Peaks
Named high points inside the unit include El Capitan at 9,956 feet, Saint Joseph Peak at 9,585 feet, Como Peaks at 9,537 feet, Saint Mary Peak at 9,332 feet and Heavenly Twins at 9,215 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Goats live above the trees on cliff and talus and come down only when weather makes them.
Holding ground: Shannon Gulch, Printz Gulch and Ike Williams Gulch
Below them sit Shannon Gulch at 4,198 feet, Printz Gulch at 3,885 feet, Ike Williams Gulch at 3,879 feet, Overturf Gulch at 3,870 feet and Coyote Coulee at 3,760 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Work out which of them you can see from one position before you pick a camp.
Water: Canyon Falls
Named sources include Canyon Falls. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

How to Hunt Mountain Goat in Unit G240
Mountain Goat Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no mountain goat row for unit G240 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 | 1,153 | 0.1% | — |
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 G240. 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.
