Attached are pictures from my 10 day backpack mountain goat hunt in Alaska. It was the most mentally challenging thing I have ever done. Watching mountain goats climb cliffs is absolutely breathtaking and you spend most of your time wondering how they survive, how you can get in range and how you could ever recover one. I missed a goat with my bow on hunt day 5 (day 7 overall) after my arrow nicked a rock he was partially standing behind & he only got a light haircut. I passed on a rifle opportunity (and still recover the goat) that came right before the bow shot so all in all no lost opportunity due to bow hunting. Unfortunately, we never got to hunt again. We only hunted 4 ½ days due to fog, rain and the process of getting up to and off the mountain we hunted. My gear performed beyond my expectations. The scenery was incredible and the experience very humbling yet rewarding. Luckily/unluckily I have a reason to go back and do it again.
