Alaska Goat not happening

[Short Track]

I've been applying for Alaska Mountain goat for years. Never drew. They say odds are 10% or less.
May be time to hunt BC... and be done with it.

My problem is I'm looking for an easier goat hunt, and I did find 2 outfits in Alaska that said the hunts are not too bad.

anyone have experience with a goat hunt that was doable for an older guy ?

My 68 year old father just knocked down a goat with Bob Milligan in BC. Bobs early winter goat hunts when they are in the rut are feasible for those less physically inclined. Just be repaired to shoot 300-500 yards.

How was the terrain ? I know some drainages are ankle breakers. leg breakers.

My last sheep hunt, the guide wouldn't even let me retrieve my sheep from 400 yards up a drainage. He put on these special boots, with a wire tightening cable to bring his foot securely planted into his boot.. far superior to my Crispi's. He used poles, and went up slowly. Took him 2 hours. I stayed down below on the 2 track road.

There are dozens of registration mountain goat hunts in Alaska available to non-residents without needing to draw a tag. None of those are of interest to you?

Did he do the boat based hunt? What did he think of it?
