Balance on rough terrain and stream crossing.
Actually for a goat hunt I'd rather have an old style ice axe with a long shaft. Anyone have one to sell?
Yeah, hard to beat a good mountain axe. I always have mine, whether hunting brownies or moose or sheep or goat, or whatever. I outfit my clients with one and most end up using it before long. Some guys bring trekking poles and a few have liked those when on a hunt. But, when actually hunting, nothing seems to beat a good fitted ice/mountain axe.
