We arrived back at the top right as the tagholder made it to the top from the other side, I'll leave photos of him out as he is a little too recognizable, suffice it to say he was a bit shocked we already had the goat out of the hole... it worked out well, there was almost no spoilage, which was good as my non-hunting climbing partners were not really down with a rotten goat...
We were able to pile the goat into our packs along with our gear and make it back to the truck by noon, altogether a good adventure and confirmation that rope accessed big game hunting is feasible, I have a couple of elk spots that I’m now considering a rappel out of as the easiest way to get an elk back to the truck, it hasn’t got tested yet because I keep finding easier elk but one of these years I’ll get desperate enough and have some pictures of a free hanging 400’ rappel with an elk in tow.
