Well, this wasn't my hunt, I just went along to help out. I ran into this guy in town this summer that I know from our church basketball leagues. He said 34 years of applying, he finally drew a Mountain Goat tag here in MT.! I told him I would try to help out if I could carve out some time in early October . Well, we were in touch after I went to Alaska and he wanted to go Oct 4th if it worked for me. I had to coach my boys football game in the morning but packed up the night before so we could leave right after the game. My 9 yr old son Braden really wanted to go bad........goat hunting is tough work and I explained to him that this wasn't our hunt and someone else had a lot of years riding on it, so we couldn't take the chance that he wouldn't be able to keep up. Well, after much begging and promises that he would work hard and not let anyone down, I told him to get his boots and stuff ready for the hunt. I mean really, how cool would that be to a 9 yr old to get to be on a mountain goat kill!!
So, off we went!
this is Braden and JD (tagholder) hiking through goat country.
