My account has changed some in the last 20 minutes. Not showing any point page, special hunts page, as well as some other pages. Hopefully that's a good sign as yours shows D-Rock. Maybe it means we are on our way to seeing these results soon.
None of those things have been showing all day.

That must mean you deciphered my huntwa handle and forgot to look at anyone else's!?!
But congrats, I'd trade every special draw in the state for a goat tag. Hope you bring us along with you.

One of the main access roads to Lincoln peak got washed out this last winter. Just makes the hike a little further though. Congratulations!
:yeah:
39 washed out around 4 mile mark. Non-motorized access is allowed.
Road closure will keep the hiker numbers way down, that's a VERY popular access.
Post by: High Climber on June 21, 2022, 07:14:44 AM
I better get the Browning dialed :bfg: or maybe the bow :archery_smiley:
That would be pretty awesome to have the chance to stalk goats with a bow :tup:
Maybe your pard will pack the rifle around so you have both options

You should join the new era and buy an e-bike. What is an OIL hunt if you don't spend like it!? You need a new mountain rifle, a new tent, a new truck (or just a truck generally), an ebike, an ebike trailer, some climbing gear, some climbing lessons, and a personal trainer. Get to it. You've gotta work for that extra inch!
Dont forget the crampons.

First of all, Congrats! Secondly, thanks for letting me come along and making me cross a glacier in the dark. The look on the hiker's faces yesterday were priceless. Lastly, your daughter is a savage, she really stepped up so we didn't have to come back up the mountain!
I learned in 2017 that mountain goat hunting makes people do stuff they really don't want to do in real life. I didn't have to deal with any glaciers but there were cliffs involved.

Yea, put on the big boy pants, cause fear does zero good and stupidity helps. The hikers thought we were rock climbers that had gotten stuck across the glacier for the night. Watching from the other side, there were a couple times I was seriously concerned for D-Rock. I waited until he had made it to the goat to cross the glacier.
