Awesome hunt! Looks like a tank! Doesnt get any tougher & sketchier than goat country. Good to hear that you had crampons. Do u bring rope too?

Fantastic story!! and billy!! Enjoyed every minute of it . Congratulations on a very hard earned goat, sounds like a hell of a hunt, it takes a tough individual to do what you did! And to do it in your dads old goat hunting spot, even better!!
Hope your hand heals up quick! Cheers!
Great story pics and hunt! Good on ya!
What cartridge out of curiosity? My goats have been 270 WIN with accubonds... Very good performance..

What kind of crampons and boots? Awesome story and congrats.
I've been using a slightly customized Sako A7 in 30-06 for everything. 180 grain accubonds.
Boots are Lowa Tibets and Black diamond pro crampons. Cheers guys, it's nice to see remarks from other guys that've spent time in goat country.

Thanks for a great read. It really gives a guy a good idea what kind of work he needs to put in to be successful in taking an animal. I have recommended this thread to several people. First class!

Kopper, you should post a thread on late season goat hunting for beginners.
What elevation was your basecamp at?
I always imagined that if I ever got a reg 3 goat LEH i'd be hunting them in late Sept or early Oct as any time after that the snow would be a problem. But your thread has me thinking that even if i wasn't hindered by snow to drive to the trailhead, i wouldn't have a first clue where these goats would be late October. I've only seen them in summer.
Are there any general patterns or ways to figure out where these goats go to winter? What would they be looking for?
