I was able to get ahold of Skagitsteel fairly quickly and after getting permission ( :chuckle:) he was eager to load up his goats and come get the buck out. We got a bite to eat and headed out to quarter it up. Finally I got to see it. He is a very old heavy dark antlered regressed buck. Not a big frame but gigantic mass! This buck is everything I dream about. So thankful my son was blessed by the Lord so greatly!

Fantastic buck! I’m glad the timing worked out that I was able to help. Getting a call to help pack out becomes fun when none of it ends up in my pack  :chuckle:

Loved it!  Great story.  That's some hunting club you guys have going up there.  I had no idea goats were beasts of burden - funny photos of the pack out (LMAO).    Congrats to your son on the great buck and to you on getting it done with a busted up back.  Heal well and quickly.

Very cool animals. The nose on that bigger one almost looks like an old whitey.

Great write up and dandy bucks!

Awesome hunt and that old buck is spectacular!

I have been blessed to share some epic adventures with my boys....this will be something that neither one of you will ever forget.

A few years back, I read an article about a guy who was using goats as pack animals. It sounded interesting but this is the first time, since that article, I have heard any more about them...very cool.
