I was fortunate enough to return to SE AK for another mountain goat (my prior hunt). This time I was along for the ride as a 2nd tag holder, in case we got the opportunity to fill two tags, but Jake was the primary hunter.
As it turns out, we had one good weather day between rain/fog leaving and snow coming in, and were presented with an opportunity to double on goats.
Jake's billy ended up being 12-years-old, which is old for goats in general, but is especially old for harvests in this area.
Both goats had great coats and measured 9+ in length.
The setting didn't suck for photos!
We did a full podcast recap of the story, which also shares some footage of the hunt film that will be released later this year: https://the-experience-project.com/alaska-mountain-goat-hunt-breakdown/
I have always been fascinated by these creatures and the places they live. Having hunted them twice now, my interest in them and appreciation for them has only grown!
