Scouting is going to be family time for sure. I do hope to find ways to get them involved in the sheep hunt. Not so sure the kids will be goat hunt ready....guess we'll see how the scouting days go first. One thing is for certain, my stepson has a greater appreciation for the fact that I started putting him in for moose, sheep, and goat now that he knows how many years it took me to draw.
I’m sure it has already been covered. Photos, photos of the scouting, the kids, the hunts....please!
For sure. I've never been much of a trophy hunter so I've been lacking in documentation skills like picture taking, go-pro etc. Going to have to suck it up I guess.
Since it appears that you are a bit green to the area and have drawn the only tag, I'll give you some advise....goat hunting can be a tough deal, no "easy" goats in that area. Summer goats will be located in the N NE facing basins and really like the snow that never melts. The goats will migrate to the S facing slopes once the fall snows have arrived. Good Luck and please let us know how your fall adventures turn out.
I think you'll do alright Lope........ I am rooting for you!
I have heard multiple people say that its always goat hunting when they find themselves somewhere they shouldn't be.
We did a pretty good job of that on a sheep hunt as well.
Was going through my mind as I inched closer to a probably 1000' drop just to get a better view of some sheep
I've seen those phone scopes advertised. Are they legit? It would be handy to have a buddy working that and maybe a go pro somewhere.
Yes, I tried to save $ the first time and bought a cheaper brand. I could have used that money on the Phone Skope I recently purchased. I also gave them the wrong model of my phone and when I called they just said no problem mail the one part back with the proper info. I did and a week later the correct size showed up. It works great.
There are a lot of people who end up eating their goat tag while patiently waiting for hair to grow because of snow and access. Just go hunting.
