Also, terrain question? I’m used to hunting in boots or snake boots in south texas. So hiking boots/shoes good up in Logan, NM?

Either will be great choice, whatever you are comfortable with. They aren't tough animals, but we had trouble getting shots under 300 yards. I wore my Danner hunting boots I wear all the time. Snake type boots didn't seem necessary. Good luck!

Work on your shooting in the 200-300 yard ranges prior to your hunt. It will be hot. Get comfortable with some higher power Binos . Try to brush up on field judging as you will probably have a whole lot of goats to select from. Probably not a bad idea to work on stalking crawls so you will be comfortable with the possibility of having to make a few long crawls.
Don’t be afraid of rattlers, they are a part of the landscape.

Thanks everyone. I think I’m going with my old trusty .270, I know where it shoots out to 300. And snake boots it is. Short hunt, plenty of water and whiskey after the kill. Looking forward to it.
On a side note, I’m having trouble getting my license, I have to call them. Hopefully I get it all worked out.
