Alaska Winter Mountain Goat Hunt! Just gonna send it!!!!!

[Karl Blanchard]

Very cool!!

Jealous here fo sho…

Fact about the expense, you can't go up there and say "hi" for less than 2Grand... 

fact!  I keep telling my wife it's the cheapest goat hunt ever because I'd still spend more if I pulled a washington tag on 5 months of scouting

 Did she buy it?

Did she buy it?

of course not She learned to see right through my BS a long time ago!  I barely get an eye roll from her anymore

Good luck! I'm sure you will have a blast. You get to go on a hunt of a lifetime with your brother! Cherish every moment of it and take a lot of pictures. Oh yeah, and kill a goat!

   The real test is if she is still there when you get back   …. That's how I knew I had a keeper

It's amazing how quick they figure you out. I think I believe more of my own bull than my wife does.

You can let her know I penciled my goat trip to Alaska out at around sixteen grand since I don't have any brothers up there so you're probably looking better than me, which is why you're going to Alaska and I'm still saving.

Your going to have a great hunt!  Just talked to my best friend who flies the island for a living and he said he just talked to one of his fisherman and the goats are down low ,50-500ft right off the salt. As long as you can get there,weather permitting you'll do good.
Only problem you'll have is after this your going to want to go back for more.

He said if you want to send me your number he will connect you with a buddy who just got back from down there and can give you as much info as you need.
Good luck!!

absolutely!  PM inbound!  At this point I dont know what to believe lol.  Bio says oh they stay high! Long time guide says they move with the snow line and will be around 1,200.  Dean with Andrew's airways says the same.  One constant is big billies will be on wind swept ridges around 2,000+. At this point the plan is hit the beach and start stepping until we see hairy white creatures

Dean has been a really good friend of mine for almost thirty years. Him and Willy have flown that island for years and they know those Goats well.  If you are flying with them you are in great hands. They have put us on some nice bucks and bulls over the years.

Have fun, be safe and good luck. Can't wait to see your pics!!

Been a long week of two a day cardio, new carpet in the bedrooms, and day dreaming of goats, but managed to get a fat batch of venison spaghetti in the dehydrators tonight.  I like to do sauce and noodles together but meat separate.  Had much better luck with consistency and rehydration of the meat by dehydrating as a stand alone item.  Plus when the meat is solo you can bust up any pieces that are still too big before final packaging with the sauce and noodles.

[Karl Blanchard]

Yes the meat looks weird.   I add breadcrumbs to it.  Allows water to penetrate into the meat better.  Cuts down on rehydration time immensly

[Gringo31]

Glad you're taking this opportunity!

Absolute best of luck to you guys!!!

[jstone]

Karl, I know your doing lots of cardio. But, do you try to put on a little weight so you have reserves to burn while on big hikes?

This!!!!


Working out is not my approach.
I prefer to save my energy for when I need to open a can of robust lung huff.
