Get ahold of me, I have a couple spots left on my reserve list for babies this spring
Matt
Matt,
How many babies are you planning on for spring? After my couple big packouts this year I really need to look into some pack stock, and I've been fascinated with your goats the last couple of years.
I guess that walk tired him out! Not to long after we switched up driving we came across 2 Doeās on a side road one ran up the hill and D watched that one while I kept my eye the other. We hop off and get up the hill and had D all setup on his and it disappeared into the thicket, the had ran slightly down a steep bank so I boogied down, crossed the road and off the bank. I spotted the deer about 100 yards out looking at me, it was a quick reaction as I pulled up and shot off hand standing on a steep steep mountain side. Something that my son would not have been able to do(canāt hold gun up and shot off hand). First thing he says after the shot, did you get it dad! Iāll remember that for a long time. I said yeppers, donāt think that oneās getting away. It was a pretty awesome blood trail with little man booking down the hill following the blood trail. I could hardly keep up! Didnāt go far, about 120yards down the steep slope and brush. Than it was the obligatory selfie with my son. We proceeded to quarter it up. D convinced me we should take the heart and eat it, which was fine with me. I put 3 quarters on my pack, he took a front and back straps and off we went up the mountain back to the road and wheeler. Got back to camp in the dark. He got to help me hang the meat and to bed we went. He was snoring in no time lol. Next morning in the dark I couldnāt find my Swarovskiās/bino harness/rangefinder oh F bombā¦. So we hopped on the wheeler and boogied the 30 minutes back to the scene of the kill, there they were on the side of the trail where we turned around! Than the lord!!! Not too good when you almost made a $2500 mistake 
. That was pretty much it for that morning as we had to be back to town early. All in all it was a great time with my son! Hope to have many more in the future.
as my wifeās eyes got as big around as quarters LOL No not really, ended up being a young bull moose, which was standing directly downwind of us, he was not scared whatsoever. We decided we would give him lots of room and dropped off the hill to the next flat to peek over even further down the mountain. I just happen to catch some movement out of the corner Mayeye and I look over about 125 yards to our left I saw elk heads bugging through the mahogany trees. Well result ended up winding us because we had to move off our current track to avoid the moose. Well they ended up stopping out there at 650. My wife is already all set up prone on the ground, I dialed her Scope to 13.2 MOA, And she can squeeze off a round at one of the bigger cows. Did not hear the tell tale thud. I assume that she missed, first thing I asked her did she level the scope, she looks up at me and says nopeā¦. Well we at least need to go over and check for sure. By this time the moose had disappeared somewhere into the sea of mahogany Brush. We got over there spread out looked around for a good hour and found no signs of a hit. We then followed their tracks down into a patch of timber mixed with mahogany trees. We ended up catching up to one of the cows but my wife had no shot in the thick mess. 
which thankfully we donātā¦ we were pretty much stuck with just a open hillside between us and the elk. We made plan to just get in a single file line and try to walk towards them, there was a slight dip 300 yards out in front of us that would give us some concealment from the eyes of the elk. We made it about 30 yards and just happened to glance up the mountain and to my surprise I think there are elk in that opening. Mad scramble ensued, getting the rifle setup in a prone position she was comfortable in, I than ranged them at 490 yards. Than it dawned on me, where the F is my phoneā¦. Has my ballistic on it chart. Well crap itās back in the truck! Some quick thinking from when we were target shooting and from last weekend. 350 is 4.2 moa and 650 was 13.2 moa I guessed 8 moa for 490 yards. My beautiful wife settled and squeezed the trigger boomā¦.. whappppā¦. That that cow took off like a rocket ship down hill and disappeared in .2 seconds. Well hun I said, Iām pretty sure you hit her! We wait a good few minutes and watched, I got glimpses of elk moving through the trees going up hill but was to thick to tell if one was the elk Kristin had shot. We than made the decision to go back to the truck and drive up closer, grab our packs and head lamps, than back up the mountain we went in the pitch black darkness. I had used OnX on my phone when we got back to the truck to mark where she had shot the elk. Took a 45 minutes until we were up to the spot, fairly tough going on steep solid frozen ground with not a whole lot for your boots to grip! Well as much as we had hoped to find her pulled up in the trees we looked for 40min and couldnāt find hide nor hair of a hit. My wife had packed the hand held spot light up the mountain so itās not like we didnāt have enough light to see. It was pretty dang cold, we were hungry and tired. To my disappointment we made the decision to go get a bite to eat and sleep, to return the next morning and look some more.
I flashed my lights to tell him we were already here. This particular spot in 1 small drainage out of the wind, I watched him get out of his vehicle and start walking toward the drainage, I casually yelled out the window ānot very sportsman likeā he proceeded to stop, crossed the highway and we had an adult conversation. He asked why we were parked on this side instead of that side? Well you can glass the drainage from this side of the road, that side you cannot, small bluff blocking the view. He just looked at me confused 
ā¦. Anyway I told him heās more than welcome to go walking up there, by this time it was light enough to glass it and there was no elk visible. Off he went walking, off we went to another glassing location
