Bowhunt goats at Makua Ke'eau

Headed out to zip some goats sometime soon.  Any tips on good locations on the west side?  Never hunted goat before.  I'm thinking get up to the ridge lines and hunt down.  Any advice is most welcome!

Welcome to the forum.
Good luck on your hunt.

Thanks!  I went out to recon the area  a couple weeks ago and ran into a guy called "Cowboy Pete".  He works up at the church on Homestead road or something.  Anyway, I noticed a DLNR sign on the ground that said "Archery Only".  Is there rifle hunting up there?

Okay, hope I don't sound too stupid here, but is there a certain part of Makua Ke'eau that is Archery only and a certain part Rifle?  I tried calling DLNR, but the guy who can answer that never returned my calls.  (2x every day this week).

This is some good reading.

Looks like Makua Keeau, in unit "G", is designated archery only.
Scratch that, I was looking at the wrong island.
