So my second hunt is in the books. I got the privileged of going in with andrew11 who was a great partner. We did nearly 50 miles and over 10,000 vertical feet. The short version is that we had an epic time together, but no goat yet. We did see 10 and I will be heading back in this week...
What a weekend! Dave Ekness and I had a great time. The short version is no goat yet. The good news is I get to go again. We went in the West Fork of the Stillwater. All told we did about 14.5 miles and 5000 vertical up and down. My body did great. Never was I in a rush but my pack in to...
After a tumultuous summer with more setbacks than I care to mention, I’ll be heading in for a weekend hunt with my longtime hunting partner Dave Ekness. While my plans to scout were thwarted repeatedly, I did get one trip in which was gorgeous even though I didn’t see any goats.
Dave and I will...
Let me start by thanking all that chimed in trying to offer help with my sciatica. It is very much appreciated.
So I am on the mend. I have been maintaining my upper body work, but that is only a little comfort as I need my legs and lungs more than anything for this hunt. I am going for...
Good points. I am meeting with a Physical Therapist friend tonight and my daughter is a radiation tech in a local Ortho office and they too are feeding me information.
I haven't done anything training wise that is any different then in past years. I have been transitioning to less impact...
So it's been awhile since I have posted so time for an update.
First the good. I needed to be in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago and I was able to to sit down with the best resource for my district. Thank You Riley! It was a real pleasure to meet with you and I so appreciate your help.
Now the...
Well here is the good and the bad as I prepare for my hunt.
The good. Training is rarely a problem for me. I have been actively training for years. I went elk hunting once in my 20s not in prime shape and I was determined to not do that again. I have been training 52 weeks a year since...
I've decided to start my own thread on my 521 Montana Goat tag. I will be posting here as I continue to prep for my hunt. I will update as I go through this summer and into the season. Stay tuned!
So yesterday I was checking drawing results for elk and deer B-tags and the FWP website...
An update on the planning for my goat hunt. I continue with my normal off-season exercises. Nothing out of the ordinary yet just a lot of HIIT, weights, and walks with at least one of them with a loaded pack weekly.
I’ll be hunting with at least one buddy who has great horses for the mountains...
Cav,
Just curious, I too drew a tag for a goat after many years of trying as well. Mine is 521, how about yourself? I started training for this hunt over 25 years ago. I'll be heading up there this weekend to "bear hunt", but really to start scouting. I too plan on making the most out of...
