Title: DIY Montana Mtn. Goat down.
Post by: norsepeak on September 19, 2013, 08:52:35 PM: Day three of a four day blast to Montana. Got snowed out in day two. Glassed him up on a steep cliffy mtn and started the hike. Got all the way up to where we had seen them. Found their tracks and started following. Came around a rock out cropping and there he was standing about 35 yards away, one shot and it was done.

You only allotted 4 days to a DIY mountain goat hunt?? I understand work schedule pressures, etc., but I would have thought 1 week or so at a minimum. (Maybe you really know the area.) Please tell a longer story, this could be of great value to us all.

Congratulations. I am always impressed by DIY hunts.

Post by: norsepeak on September 19, 2013, 09:29:49 PM: I had a lot more time, but my hunting partner didn't and it would have been an extra 1400 miles of driving and I have a very sick girl at home, so had to get it done and get home.. better than not getting to go at all. I didn't know the area, but researched it a lot and talked to past tag holders. Because of that, we saw over 20 billies in two and a half days. Had to use the rifle due to time constraints, but could have done it with the bow... next goat tag will be bow only.

Post by: jackelope on September 19, 2013, 10:10:11 PM: Congrats Ty. It's amazing what you can do as far as scouting goes by using tools at hand. Nothing tops boots on the ground, but the Internet and such goes a long way if you know how to use it.

yeah, I may have to add on to my 'add on'. :chuckle: Wifey may not go for that until she gets her new kitchen... :bash: :chuckle:
Title: Re: DIY Montana Mtn. Goat down.
Post by: Elkstuffer on September 21, 2013, 09:20:39 AM: Well if you're adding on again we can do a lifesize with this one also. Since you didn't bring back the hooves we can have him standing in a snow drift. :chuckle:

Post by: norsepeak on September 21, 2013, 09:56:58 AM: ha ha, funny guy....now zip it! You're gonna cost me a bunch of money! I already have an idea for suspending a "rock" from my ceiling with something cool mounted on it....wifey is very supportive of that one though... :chuckle:
