This hunt starts back to application season when @wllm1313 and I discussed applying for 3rd and 4th season nanny tags in the same unit, respectively. I figured… I can’t tell the difference anyway so why wait another 10-15 years to hunt mountain goat.
Well the draw came up and I was the lucky recipient of a fourth season Colorado nanny tag. I immediately called my wife and believe the call went something like this… Me: Where would you like to go on vacation? Wife: As a family? Me: No, by yourself or a friend, whatever you want to do. Wife: What the fu(& did you do now…………. Me: I drew the mountain goat tag. Wife: You owe me so big, you manifested that crap, you have been saying you were going to draw since the day you applied.
2021 was already scheduled to be very busy for us with only one long weekend of free time not already scheduled between tag draw and the goat hunt. That long weekend was also our tenth anniversary. So what did this guy do? Pack up the camper and take the family on a 5 day anniversary camping trip in the goat unit.
It was an amazing time away with my wife and 2 girls, five and one. It was not a scouting trip full of the multiple hikes and drives this genius had thought he could get away with. Anyone with young kids knows that nap times, meals, and bumpy car rides can put a wrench in the schedule.
