Thanks for sharing @theat. Always enjoy your gopro videos!! Was that you jumping onto the mountain goats back?
That had to be pretty intense!!
No, I was the one filming that one. That was my former coworker from Wyoming. He is one of the toughest guys I know and also an incredible shot.
I've jumped out of the helicopter onto the backs of running animals quite a few times. The most memorable one was a cow elk just north of the Jarbridge Mountains. Usually it would end up with me either immediately knocking them down with my sudden weight on them, or I would run along side them leaning over their back trying to grab the opposite side front leg to knock them over. This cow had a net on her but only one of the front legs was hung up in the net wrapped around her head. When I landed on her back she bucked a couple times and when my feet landed on the ground, one of them ended up in the net. Another couple bucks later, my feet went out from under me and off she went with me in tow. Thankfully she only made it about 50 yards before also getting tripped up in the net.
