WA Mt. Goat Hunt (Bearhunter)

[Nimrod]

Never been so nervious in my life I have decided to pack my bow and gun it's extra weight but I couldn't imagin not shooting this animal without my bow I scouted 20 plus days I'm in great shape and know the country fairly

I shot one and thought I had more than enough gun in the 7mm Rem mag,if I were to do it again(which I never will,once was more than enough) I would be aquiring a .338 win mag.I can't even imagine shooting one with a bow,your in for a rodeo I do know that much.Your heart will jump through your throat when the thing runs to the edge and commits suicide by vertical drop,Be prepared for a jumper.

Bow,

 When I got all giddy about it,I enlisted the help of two local goat guys,both had killed a bunch of them,this was in the days before the once and done draw if you killed something,well between the two of them they had lost 3 goats due to the jumper syndrome,they jump and land on a ledge that is inaccesible from above or below and you've got nothing,they tried for 3 days to get to one with all kinds of climbing gear and it was to no avail,I know another guy who had the same thing happen.Heck mine was a jumper with 3 in the boilerhouse and one in the ankle.

Don't worry Nimrod.  Not a lot of truly inaccessible ledges in that unit.  Especially when I can gain access to a 300 meter rope if need be to help you get it out!  We'll get your goat even if it jumps, I promise!

Which unit you got? I had the Ruth Creek and if I remember right after 20 years the other guys with the inaccessable jumpers  had Barometer.Mine jumped off the backside of american border peak.

Yeah, back side of American Border woudl be a real pain in the arse.  This unit isn't near as rugged and rocky.  I wish they'd open up that Ruth Creek hunt again, that'd be a blast!

Dan, pretty much just been sitting around gaining weight and not really been motivated...  I wish I could just get a refund

Really dude? You gotta get after it! Its your dream hunt, get it done!

[wildweeds]

I'm here to tell you it was FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'D to the max,I've never been so beat,battered and bruised in my life,the trip down to tomohoi and out was GNARLY,I got poked by his horns so many times everytime I look at the head on the wall I get ticked off all over again...............IT SUCKED!

 I think Bearhunter is a bit distracted by trying to get his career as a huntographer kickstarted.
