Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting There's tough hunts and then there are TOUGH hunts

this one definitely qualifies as a capital letter TOUGH hunt!

In that amount of snow, with that much vertical,

Party time.

Great Video, thanks.

Gives new meaning to "earned".

Thanks for sharing.

That was some sketchy stuff, IME if it looks steep on video it's STEEEP.

Mountain goat separates the men from the boys.

Hell ya...that is awesome. Good for them.
I wish I could find one person willing to do that kind of thing, let alone 5-6 and with enough time off to do a hunt like that.
I had to rappel to one goat a friend of mine shot in Idaho, sans snow. It was sketchy. I couldn't have imagined doing that in 5 feet of snow. They can live in some absolutely ridiculous country.

Thanks for posting, that is some nasty stuff, in rough weather conditions.

I can say, that is not for me at all.

Cool hunt, and tough indeed. Hated the music. That much snow changes a hunt like that dramatically from dry weather/snowless hunts - night and day different.

I’m in.

Excellent. There is some great Youtube content now.

My goal next Nov is to take my boat 250 miles to do a similar hunt that the guides charge 32k for. Hoping they are a little lower but it is what it is. Got my buddies lined out for it. Minimum 3 guys with one guy on the boat at all times and two pursuing. I think about it almost daily.

sounds like an awesome adventure!

Moose?

MTN Goat. Didn't know a 32k mountain goat hunt existed until I started looking at guides websites. Unreal

Serious? 32 for a goat hunt? must be some serious logistics involved, when did a goat hunt become more than a sheep hunt.
