One of the most habitual places where you can find these creatures is in Sheepeater Ridge Region in a small lake midwest of the map. From time to time, these mountain goats stroll near these lakes in order to hydrate. 

 You can use the campsite near Sheepeater Ridge to rest up and gather your resources. This will make your hunt way much easier. Hence, making it less complicated for you to hunt these mountain goats.

Right on the map itself, players can locate a few mountain goats, and while the mountain goats are not that difficult to hunt, there are a few precautionary steps that players will need to take. 

Precautionary Steps 

One of the first things players need to remember is that mountain goats are exceptionally fast. They are extremely quick on their feet, and the second they are sighted, they will run for their life and be out of your sight within a few seconds. 

The main thing to note is that players need to be extremely stealthy when trying to hunt down mountain goats, and it is the only way to ensure a safe hunting experience without getting caught by the goats.

After you first spawn in, you want to turn right back around and set the time at 9:41 am, which is the supposed drinking time of the goats and the time which they will be out and about, and you will be able to hunt them down with more ease. 

Hunting 

  • From the campsite, head left towards the marker at 214m distance.
  • Move swiftly through the grassy patch covered by trees.
  • Cross the road going up the hill and crouch down halfway through.
  • Enter stealth mode to avoid alarming the nearby mountain goats.
  • Inch towards the trees, taking cover in tall grass for a quieter approach.
  • As you approach, be mindful of the decreasing marker numbers.

Sound Analysis 

Once you read the 100-meter mark, you will now be able to see the snowy patch in front of you, and if you look to your direct right, there will be a box that appears called “Sound Analysis”. 

The sound analysis is exactly what it sounds like, and it will mark out the sounds nearby and if you are making too much sound to the point of alerting the mountain goats. It is simply an indication to silence your steps to get ready and get into the hunting position. 

100 Meter Distance 

Once you are close to being 100 meters or less away from the goats, it is time to start looking through your lens. Every few seconds, use the lens of your rifle to get a closer look at the area where the goats are located, and if you can’t locate them, then keep moving across the grass and check the lens for a closer look. 

Once you get closer and there are less than 40 or so meters of distance, position your lens towards a few rocks, and there will be one or two mountain goats that you can shoot instantly. 

A few more white mountain goats will show up, and they can also be hunted down for meat. Try to aim for as many goats as possible, and eventually, one or more will be hunted and yours to take the loot from. With that, we will wrap up our Way of The Hunter Mountain Goat Locations guide!
