Patience Please, Another Goat Story

[Gerald Martin]

We got the goat caped out for a life size mount and all the meat boned out and headed back to camp.
After spending the night, we headed out to the truck the next morning. Rick carried his goat hide and the meat and I packed out the whole camp. Not only that but it rained on us nearly the whole pack out. I don't know if I've ever been so glad to see a truck. I tend to try and forget the pack trips out. Thankfully our bodies have a way of forgetting pain once they are rested up.

Rick on the pack out. I didn't get any pictures of myself. I was too miseralble

A post script to the trip.

Al was able to hold on for a few more months. I was able to edit up the video and he got to watch a DVD of Rick's hunt before he died.

Threads like this are pretty much the reason there is no need to subscribe to the old-fashioned print magazines about hunting.

This is a great read, great photos, and all parties involved are to be congratulated.

What was the old mill at the lake? I assume some sort of mining?

Gerald:

That is an amazing story. Very cool that you captured it in pictures, and even more so that you caught it on video.

Thanks for taking the time to tell it here.

Congrats to Rick.

JoseCuervo, Yes there was an old mine in there.



Gerald Martin (if thats your real name ) WDH- I know its cheesy to post under your real name, its something I started when I registered at Bowsite several years ago. I did it to remind myself to bite my tongue (or at least my typing fingers) when I would be tempted to post something under the cloak of anonymity that I normallly wouldn't have said if it were attributed to me. Call it situational forum ethics if you will.

Thanks for taking the time to post the story and pictures. It's stories and pics like these that help me through the winter months. Thanks again.
