Oh man! I forgot to put that in there. "You don't look like you're doing ok." Nothing a few twisted's cannot fix!
Certainly wasn't visibly but I kept it quiet. Was going for the 9th inning bunt and it happened to leave the park.
Thank you! I was lucky the first mature goat we saw was 9 1/4" and no broke tips. He's not very old, thinking 4 but the day before the season closed I wasn't waiting around.
Thank you, Randy. Likewise to your family. It seems as though goat tags and poor family health went hand in hand this year.
Congrats on your goat and thinking of your family often
I think this hunt has started a potentially unhealthy obsession with these unique and amazing animals. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to chase them.
Anyone who gets the opportunity to hunt Mountain Goats needs to do themselves a favor and read "The Beast the Color of Winter" by...
Thanks! Definitely couldn't have asked for a better group of guys. They know that country better than most and keep it light when the Beartooth bullshit sets in.
The last weekend Isaac and his friend Bryan had a few days off. The plan was for me to hit the trail a few hours early, hike 6 miles and glass cliffs where people have seen goats before. If I turned up goats we would camp there, if not we'd hike up another few hours in the dark and set up camp...
On Nov 21, I was given a few days off of family duty. I could go help my non-resident brother find an elk, or I could try to turn up a goat. Sorry Max but I'm going goat hunting. I headed in the 22nd to try it all again and maybe this time I'd even lay eyes on a goat...maybe.
I hiked in solo to...
What else could go wrong? A step father-in-law's major cancer surgery and canceled flights. Surgery went well for him but he's now into Chemo and radiation daily.
After the canceled flight and a night in our connecting city, Minneapolis, with a worn-down wife, wild baby, and almost no baby...
Every year I pay my fees and throw my name in the hat just to see unsuccessful, state after state, again and again. I had become used to it and didn't hold much hope for 2021. I didn't grow up hunting and have only been building points for a few years so I knew I was playing the long game, or so...
I just got this email about the preference points....
Dear Valued Customer,
You likely received or will receive an email receipt for Desert Sheep indicating you were unsuccessful in the draw. Unfortunately the receipt indicated that you would receive a preference point. This is not accurate as...
I was on the fence about it this year. I waited til the last possible second and got cold feet. As they say, "cold feet are for weddings." Count me in for next year though. I hope this is the year Fin gets his moose tag though.
