Mountain Goat
Contributors to this thread:
New to the site. Love reading through the previous posts and i am looking forward to sharing and learning more.
I drew a goat tag for G12 (Aspen/Maroon Bells) Needless to say i am pretty excited. I have been doing my share of research and am looking forward to scouting this summer.
Would love to hear if anyone has some advice on the area.
Also interested in peoples thoughts on white camo for bow hunting mountain goats.
GOS BLESS TJ!!! I did not know ya but I feel your families pain! Prayers to all your friends and Family!
I remembered him posting this back in the summer. Thought it unusual that no one responded at the time, but figured he most likely got some PM's with help.
The next time hearing about him I was sitting below Independence Pass at a trail head eating a sandwich, about to embark on the next leg of my own Mountain Goat hunt. Four older ladies from Aspen arrived for a hike down the trail, and we chatted briefly. When they learned what I was doing, one shared the details of the goat hunter incident in the Maroon Bells that had occurred a couple days prior. It sure left an indelible and sorrowful message in my mind for the rest of the hunt. RIP fellow hunter.
Prayers sent for his family;(
I got on Bowsite within an hour of getting home from my mountain goat hunt and all of the dealings with it before I had gotten any sleep. It was deflating to hear that TJ's success ended this way. Even odder that we shared the same birth year and the incident occured just one night before my pack out. Glad I didn't know about it then! God bless you and those grieving! I wish we could hear your story!
