White Goat

[medicmoose]

Anyone know if there is any hunting allowed in the white goat or Siffleur wilderness areas (WMU 738 and 736) cant find much about them in the regs. Just trying to plan the assault on sheep season. Think im gonna go for a hike up coral creek to job pass tommorrow hope the creeks arnt to high!

I don't think you are allowed to have a fire, stay overnight, or ride a horse in the wilderness areas, let alone hunt. It's been a few years since I checked, so I may be wrong.

your Alberta WMU map and regs state these areas are "No Hunting" zones.

Except for the special seasons provided in WMUs 728 and 730, hunting is

You can hunt it if you want but all the sheep grew wings and flew away.
No sheep around there for 30 miles.

I hope your planning on spending a couple days in there because it is no day walk to job pass up corral. It isn`t easy going on foot and it would probably take almost 9 hours on a horse to get up there. And those creek crossings will be deep!!!!

Pfffft horses are for old men and sissys (just kidding) yeah im not sure what im gonna do given all this rain.:sign0176: might go poke up the whitegoat or the whiterabbit.

Having shared a few days afield with Matt, I'm not so sure it wouldn't be a day hike for that boy...lol


I realized my biggest fear in life a week ago hiking with him and that's that I'd get a guide as young and fit as him on my upcoming Dall hunt.....:sign0068:

medicmoose I have spent alot of time in the coral and jobe creek drainages, I believe there is 36 creek crossings on coral to hearts and diamonds camp. Coral creek has alot of big rocks in the bottom and the water can get real deep there real fast. If you can"t see the bottom its best not to go in there. If the creek is down the best time to start is early morning because of snow melt and glacier melt, it will rise alot on a hot day to. Hope this helps.
