Here is the full story about my son Bridger’s 2020 North Chelan Mountain Goat Hunt that was just published in Western Hunting Journal. This kid toughed it out and got it done. I couldn’t be prouder!

Thank you for sharing! What a great writeup, and an incredible adventure for this young man (and the family and friend group)!

That is so cool! Thank you for sharing this. Way to go, Bridger! And think of all the years he won't have to spend that $13.50 application fee now....

Great writeup, hunt and pics! I've tromped around that goat range a little, I suspect I know within a couple miles where you were. Loved the discussion and decision about the 550 yard shot, this young man has better ethics than many adults!

Thank you for all the great feedback. Bridger says he’s going to draw a sheep tag next........😂. I definitely admire this kid’s passion and optimism!
