The effort put into it will make that trophy all the sweeter every time you look at the mount and reflect on the hunt. Congrats!!!

Nice Billy!
Good job on the hunt

Great to hear. Congrats. Any goat is "well-earned," but that one seems to be more earned than most.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Very happy with how it all turned out. Now in retrospect, all the hard work it took will make this hunt much more memorable.

I've had a couple days at my friends house to repack and regroup and try to get the goat smell out of my backpack before heading out after elk this morning. We are packing in on horses and I have only ridden a horse twice in my life so this is going to be a new experience for me for sure.

After the unseasonably warm weather during the goat hunt, this week is starting out cool and wet. Chances of snow where we are going to be the next couple days.

I'll post a new thread on the hunt details of the goat hunt and the elk hunt when I get back.

Right now the plan is to have 1 day going in, 1 day of scouting and up to 5 days hunting.

Right on! Way to hang in there and get it done.

There are quite few guys here that do a helluva job sharing hunts, paden definitely sets a high bar for effort, pics, and description..thanks and best of luck on your elk hunt.
