Final weekend success with her first wild rooster- She did her part on 3 more roosters in easy gun range throughout the day, but I didn't uphold my end, rocking the final 2 and calling it a day after "limiting out".
Very happy with how her first season went and counting the days until next season!
Love the A5 still getting out in the field! I grew up shooting my Grandpa's -> Dad's Belgium A5 in 20ga with a fixed full choke. Still one of my favorite shotguns to grab.
No doubt- I just like seeing them from different angles. If I only ever saw mule deer that were looking away from me, I'd have some interesting stories of "ones that got away" and ones with ground shrinkage.
12x NLs on a tripod eliminated my need for my previous 10x's and 15x's. I've never felt l was lacking while glassing big country or too tight for the shortish to medium stuff. Clarity, FOV, ergonomics. Truly one of a kind.

Thanks for sharing! I would be interested in data and rates that are from a source that doesn't stand to benefit in one fashion or the other in regards to packgoats- so not WSF or NAPgA.
I understand rates are low, if not a non-factor, which could be the manner in which pack goats are penned...
Great perspectives and an informative discussion on various stock options. One consideration I haven't seen brought up with pack goats is the possibility of pneumonia transmission when hunting in areas with wild sheep. I know among my friends and I, our stomachs turn each time we see pack goats...
Opinel makes several sizes of their folding filet knife- simple, sharp, and a great option for the pack for boning out game in the field as well as working on items in the kitchen.
