Day 2 of Scouting (Aug 30)
After a wonderful night's sleep in the tipi we woke at first light to a wonderful sunrise and illumination of the north-facing ridge system that we hoped to find goats on before committing to hiking spike camp further into the wilderness. Regena awoke first and was...
Thank you for sharing your story @Gerald Martin and congratulations on a stud mountain goat! Awesome pictures too and it is awesome that you have a group of friends that will accompany you on an extreme mountain hunt.
Day 1 of Scouting (Aug 29) and Hike into Hunt Area
The day finally arrived after a summer of anticipation I would finally get to set foot into the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness with a mountain goat tag in my bino harness and a rifle on my pack. My summer scouting plans were foiled for various...
I had one of the best evenings in the elk woods yesterday evening during the last 2 hours of legal shooting light with a couple of bulls and a small group of cows even though the moon illumination was 94% on Thursday and 98% last night, both nights clear skies for the most part. Bulls were vocal...
Happy to report that I harvested a billy on Sept 3rd on day 6 of my walk-about into the 316 wilderness. Trials and tribulations were had, and the mature billy I was after from day 1 is still living (to the best of my knowledge, unless another tag holder got him), and my body hurts from the miles...

All,
I am forward thinking here but I would like some advice on how to care for a mountain goat cape from the time of the shot to delivery to the taxidermist. My plan (if I am blessed with a harvest) is to skin the entire goat like one would for a full-body mount. I am leaning towards a full...
Moving FS road closures to Sept 1 might complicate grazing allotments and ranchers trying to ship cattle in the fall. Probably don't need to make things more complicated for ranchers and their presence on the landscape can benefit us hunters (and our wild food) as controlled grazing by cattle...
I very much appreciate the comment(s) on how the presence of grizzlies increases the wildness/wilderness aspect of hunting in a grizzly's backyard, as I have found the same to be true. Knowing that there are other apex predators such as Grizz (that is much better at killing than I am) sharpens...
Wow! I think that I get the dislike for Rob amongst the HT members now after reading through that.
The big point(s) that I have gathered from this posting on the podcast episode discussion is the interaction of hunting influencers (Cam Hanes, Hushin, etc.....) + modern marketing/advertising +...
