Alaska goat hunt success!

I just took my son on a goat hunt down on Kodiak. It was one of the most brutal hunts we've ever been on! We both had two goat tags and intended on filling all four but weather forced me to contact our pilot by InReach and have him come get us out. I really wasn't looking forward to climbing back up into those basins two more times and packing goats out anyway.
I took my Brackenbury takedown recurve in case I spotted one that was set up in a good spot and my son packed my new gun which I would use if I saw one I really wanted. I ended up shooting mine with my 300WSM and Shaun used it for his goat also.

There were ptarmigan everywhere, and I mean everywhere!


I'm 54 years old and made it to the top! What a good feeling to be my age and still be able to do hunts like this!


Glassing God's country for distant goats.


Here's my 8" billy. I can't believe how far he rolled down through the cliffs and didn't break his horns off.


Here's my son's goat, a 10" nanny. It banged it's eye in one of the most incredible falls I've ever seen. I just got done building my 300WSM and he made a comment about how much he loved it. I had planned all along on surprising him and giving it too him on the mountain after he shot his goat. The look on his face made it worth every hour and dollar I put into it.
