James, if your not going to take the tag seriously, why did you buy it?  

lol

Like I was telling you the other night I would check out the GoLite Shangri-la 5.

I have the GoLite Shangri-la 5, a stove jack (soon to be installed) and a small stove on order from Kifaru.  It is going to be a real sweet set up for the late fall hunts.

The MSR is a real good tent for the weight.

Here's a goat from this spring for you to ogle at!  It's a giant yearling!!! 

Thanks to my lovely wife for the background commentary!

Hunt hard while it's blue sky. Once the rain starts and the cloud level drops it's hard to see goats. Buddy of mine learned that the hard way and ate his tag. We both got drawn and I did take a nice 9 and 7/8 inch billy in the second week. By the third week it was socked in and goat hunting and spotting more precisely was tough. We hunted the rest of the season for his goat to no avail. Look for the yellow tinged billes those are the toads you are looking for. Good luck to you.

Artman hopefully u can get some time to come up... Help ya get in shape for ur elk tag

[Bearhunter]

Nimrod, no worries you probably wont even see me as I drew a Hangman B Moose tag and will probably focus my efforts on that   Besides everyone knows the big Billys are in the Goat Rocks, Hence the name   No in all seriousness, good luck and well probably cross paths.  Kinda bummed out, Im having to lay off the workout program for a bit, as I tore a muscle or seperated a  rib or two about a week ago, not really a fun thing, pretty painful still... hoping it heals quick like!

[shanevg]

I hate you James!

[Nimrod]

Good luck too u as we'll it should be a great hunt and I hope we all havest a nice billy,I mean there is only 3 ppl going to be up there mabe 4 got to be at least two 13 inch Billy's up there right hopefully u heal fast that's a bummer, I have been been avoiding the simples of tasks and all the fun games I'm use too just to avoid a minor injury that could cripple my season. U Hurd who drew the raffle goat permit

[Bearhunter]

No I havent heard who drew the Raffle tag...  But it could potentially be more than 4 in there if you factor in all the tags the Natives get...  I do not understand why they would drop 2 units for the area and allow such a potentially high harvest rate in one unit and not spread it out as there are plenty of Goats all the way around the Mountain, but then again I am no biologist either...
