Season is sept 1st to dec 1st. Thats a long time . But weather is a factor early in this unit and I dont plan on messing around. I have shot and trained hard for the last 2 months. I am almost sick to my stomach with the anticipation.

Hunter just texted me. He said that its raining like crazy up there, still quite a few others out there hunting. He's been in the tent for 16 hours so far due to the weather BUT he has a good goat in the spotter a long ways off.
Time will tell and at this point, time is on his side!

Stefanie and I just sat down to eat some lunch and my phone rings. It's Hunt calling... I'm thinking this is weird!
Anyhow they were glassing the goat a long ways off, then found another one a bit closer. All of a sudden Rog starts freaking out! Tripod, the goat from opening weekend pops out of the timber much closer than the others.
Hunt is off making a stalk now. Hope this turns out well. He was stoked on the phone. Good stuff!

From: Nick Muche

Just heard from Hunt. He said the weather is getting better compared to the last few days.
He also said "you think spot and stalk pronghorn is tough, try doing it on 40ft cliffs!" ;)
He just stalked a huge nanny, got to 105 and just needed to clear a 50-60 yard opening for a shot. She spotted him and took off to Wyoming.
He's been seeing several goats so that's a good thing.

From: HUNT MAN

So at 330 he gets up and moves over the top where we cant see him. Rog asked me what i wanted to do? I said lets go. 1000 feet down to camp.Break it down then 1500 feet down the trail. At the trail 1.3 miles and then back up 2500 feet. We are both pushing to our limits and 2 hours and 35 mins later i am 134 yards from where i last saw him.HUNT
From: HUNT MAN
19-Sep-13
Its 625 and we have a little over a hour of light left. I tell Roger i want to move. I stand up and there he is above me. He hears something and comes to investigate. He steps up on a rock broadside at 67 steep uphill. I draw back put my 60 on his heart and level up. This is what it all comes down to. At the release the arrow sails over his back. He doesnt move. I panic and take 1o yards off. Whack right in to the rock below him. He takes off and i follow. I get myself in a Scary spot and have to crawl hand and knees to get back to a safe place. Scared Sad and disappointed we climb back down to camp in the RAIN.
From: HUNT MAN
19-Sep-13
Monday breaks clear and sunny. We find him right away but he has moved to the cliffs. So we watch and wait and wait and wait. I crawl in to 178 and have the rifle but decide to pass.
From: HUNT MAN
19-Sep-13
While watching him I see a goat making its way into the bowl we are in. I can tell its a Nanny. But she is a big one and solo. I grab my bow and jog a semi circle around and above her. At 110 i have to make it across a ten foot wide open strip. She sees me and runs 2 mountains overs. Lesson learned Dont let them see ya. I head back to camp. My sherpa has a fire going HUNT

The fog is rolling in and out. I have to go down a slide and then back up the other side. I am crawling hands and knees . I see the goat and close in. He is in a cliff band with a wide open chute between us. I get to 141 yards and watch him. I Have both my bow and rifle. I cant get any closer so 2 hours go bye it raining and blowing. He stands up and i go into auto pilot. Grab the gun and get ready. Bang and nothing WTF. So Bang again and nothing so bang, bang and bang. I cant even scary this goat with the Gun. Its way off and the goat gets up and walks away. I cant believe it. I cry and head back to camp in the rain.

Well mother nature is a bitch sometimes. Goat country was snowed out so i headed to elk country. This is what it looked like. HUNT
From: HUNT MAN
30-Sep-13
With snow like that in elk camp i can only image what was at 10,000 feet. We had had enough of the weather and headed home early to deer hunt. We drive 350 miles home at night and get to my house at 1am.

Well somethings just happen for a reason. This bull showed up in my deer spot with 15 cows. He thought he had it made in the low lands with all the ladies. Little did he know Hunt was hiding in the bushes. 35 yard shot and a couple more just because and he was mine.HUNT

LOL! Congrats!
Sometimes... oh well, gotta love it when a plan comes together...
A bowsite buddy and I were swapping stories about pack-outs and he told me about an AZ hunt where his partner hurt himself pretty good on the pack-out. He picked up a quarter and when he turned with it he hit his head on the swing-out tire carrier on the Jeep....
I don't think I've had any under a 1/2 mile, uphill, both ways...
Keep it goin' Hunt, yur on a roll!
Does the snow push the goats down lower at all? I know it sure makes em tougher to spot....

I didn't bag the goat. Just bagged one one weekend and yes because of Snow. Going back friday night. Weather just want give me a break. Calling for 12-18 inches on thursday at 8000 feet. Will do whatever i can to get back in there. Snow shoes, skis or a sled. Maybe Bowsite can get a helicopter fund going:) Thanks for following along. HUNT
From: Caddisflinger
01-Oct-13
Lol, we can have you flown to the top and you can just ski/hunt from the top down. I'd bring the longbow so you can shoot while you ski.
I'd suggest practicing before you head out. Maybe Nick can pull you behind his truck on a skateboard while you shoot at hay bales along side the road. Just so you get the "feel for it.

Great you got your bull, and please tell me you made NIck help load that thing.
Love the garage pic...how about putting whole mountain goat in the exact same spot.
...and at least that much snow should make it easier to slide the billie down the mountain, grab a horn in each hand and take off.
Don't know you well enough to like you now, but I sure as heck envy you know.

We plan to glass until 11 and then head to down to the ridge the goats where on last weekend. I ask Andy what time it is and its 11;15. I said its sunny and warm here lets give it another hour. After 3 hours of glassing the same face I spot a goat bedded. We are pumped and make a quick plan.

We have to drop down a 1000 feet and then head back up. On the way down we keep a eye on the goat. We make to the bottom at 200pm.We watch and try to find a path up to the goat.we pick a avalanche chute and head that way. Its north facing and has 3 feet of powder. HUNT
From: HUNT MAN
27-Oct-13
Up we go. Losing sight of the goat because of the hill and trees. We find a clearing about 3/4 of the way up. I find the goat right a way and get a range. I lay down on my pack and get the gun ready. It takes 15 mins for me to calm down. I think i am ready and tell Andy fire in the hole. Bang. High left Andy says. I take off 50 yards on the scope and make good on the 2nd shot. the goat stand up and i give it 2 more. It then jumps Off a 100 foot cliff bounces twice and off a 300 foot cliff into 4 feet of snow. I am bummed and think my trophy is going to be all broke up. We head that way. HUNT

I head up to the goat first. My emotions are running high. I grew up in Georgia hunting anything i could. Now i am walking up on a Mountain Goat. I can't believe it.

From: HUNT MAN

Awesome story, cant believe I've missed this one! How long did it take you to draw the tag? Ive been putting in for a couple years now so I don't think I'm in any danger of drawing one yet.

I had to go back and re-read this one again. It just gets better every time I read it.

Hunt, just read this from start to finish.
I am not quite sure why my back hurts, my legs hurt, my arms hurt and I am really tired and sore and lost 20 pounds.
Maybe I just followed along too close.
Great adventure and presentation.
My best, Paul

The pictures are gone when looking on my phone, which really really really really sucks. Are they still there if you look on an actual computer?
