Discovered this site while cruising the web looking for information and stories on the White Beasts of the cliffs. Sounds like a bunch of guys with the exact same interests as me. I'm really loving reading all your posts.
Now, about my winning lottery ticket… Much to my surprise, I drew a goat tag this year in the northern part of unit 27 (area of the Bighorn Crags).
My dad hunted in there for sheep many years ago and my brother has been in there when he was a youngster but I've never hiked back in to that country. So, although I've been up and around there several times I've never strayed too far from the road and left boot tracks back in to the real rugged stuff where I'm hoping the big Goats call home.
Took a trip up there a few weeks ago. Mostly just drove around in the pickup since we didn't have much time. We did glass a couple areas where I've seen goats in years past but didn't find a single one this trip. Was definitely a little discouraging that we didn't spy at least a nanny or two, especially since my boy and my cousin were along and I was hoping to show them some goats. I'm hoping it was on account of the very hot weather up there that weekend. Maybe they were way, way high back in there on the Crags and/or hiding out in the shade and out of sight?
Anyway, nice to meet you all and I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts.
