This thread made me add several books to my Libby list. I read River of Doubt on a flight to Brazil to fish for peacock bass - thank you to those who recommended it. The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon were added as a result of this list and thoroughly enjoyed as well.
I'm currently reading...
They are a great boot. I worked with Stephen remotely after a rebuilt pair of a different brand fell apart in 13 miles. I was about 30 days from a mountain goat hunt when that happened and Lathrop and Sons took great care of me and the boots were and still are amazing.
River of Doubt is a fantastic book. I started it on Christmas Day and finished it yesterday.
I also recommend "On the Border with Crook". It's a firsthand account of General Crook’s campaigns during the American Indian Wars.
I have one of these sitting around with a B&C reticle on it... wish I had the varmint hunter reticle. I think I'll try it anyway. Are you still appy with it on your 17?
It was dark by the time we got down to him. He took three steps and fell over but then he kicked and fell nearly 1,200 feet down the mountain. Some more pics in trip report here -trip report
Thanks @JoeB and @Falcon! It was a great hunt.
@JoeB, I went with Sam Rohrer as the outfitter. Rohrer Bear Camp. Great guys and a hard working crew. I'd be happy to answer any questions about them, the process, gear etc.
Ok. Outfitter put 3 on the hunt report card as well. His goat being longer and bigger bases than mine at the same age did have me wondering. Here’s another pic he sent me. This is the 8 3/4” long goat with 5 2/8 bases, not mine. It’s the first goat in the pics in daylight in my report.
