Good work Joel, congrats. Great pics too.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Just outstanding! They don't make it easy, do they?

With the mass he has I would expect that goat to break 50", congrats on a nice one.

We greened him out at 49 4/8. But I don't care. This is my most proud hunting moment ever!!! The goat is truly the hardest hunt in NA. They live in some nasty nasty stuff and are very underrated IMO. With the mass he has I would expect that goat to break 50", congrats on a nice one.

Regardless of what the score is he is a fine billy. Those who have never hunted goats don't really realise what they are getting themselves into  They are tough customers who thrive in tough country. See any grizz when you were out?

See any grizz when you were out? You know I was fine when I was climbing up. Never looked back just kept climbing. S**t got real when we headed back down and saw what we climbed up. Lol. One miss step or one slip and it's a long steep roll either until you level out or until you are up against a boulder and or tree. Especially at dark 30 with a heavy pack and headlamp. We did not see any grizzly but saw a fresh track. I'm going back to hunt grizz with them sometime real soon.

It sure does get you to focus on making sure every step you take is a good one  A walking stick helps too in that situation. There should be a decent chance at a grizzly in that area and you may get a real pretty one should you decide to spring for a hunt.

Sounds like a great hunt. Goats are just plain cool.
