West Mt.Baker Black Buttes 4-4 Scouting

Hey everyone, We spent the day scouting the Black Buttes area of 4-4. This was by fare the hardest hike I have ever made, A real tree grabber! The scenery was awesome and the weather was great. We spotted 42 goats on this trip,two of them being mature Billy's. I have decided not to get to close to these goats so the pictures are from some distance. We are able to get a good idea how big they are with our optics. We did see one exceptional Billy on this trip but not very accessible. I talked with a 70 year old gentlemen who harvested the last Goat from this unit back in 80's. He spent some time scouting with us and shared some great information. I was really impressed that a 70 year old could make it up that trail. Special thanks to everyone who contributed to this scouting trip! No luck adding photos tonight, will try again soon.

Good to hear you were able to get in there. The trail certainly is a lot of work, but it is well worth it! Can't wait to get out with you for the archery hunt!

These worst part about the whole trip was after about 45minutes of heading down the trail, I relized I left my Leicas sitting on the trail back up in one of the meadows. I dropped my pack and took off up the trail 30 minutes of running back up the trail and 15 back down and we were on our way back to the truck again, I sure got a workout that day. This is pretty much it for me Kevin lets see some off your camera!
