Congrats Pat!!
There is something very special about being in goat country, and you relayed that feeling very well.

Awesome story, hunt and pics Pat. Glad that you were able to harvest a well deserved trophy. The only thing that'd have been better for you would be having the boys there with you. Good friends make any hunt really special. Thanks for sharing with us Pat.

Congrats, Pat! That right there is the hunt of a lifetime! The thing is Pat's had about 50 hunts of a life time.

Incredible story and outstanding goat! Thanks for sharing that with us all!
Most don't have the courage or ability to wait until the snows come and chase goats as early as possible. Well done!

Fabulous hunt, and an exceptional write-up. Thank you for sharing the experience with us Pat.

Damn, I missed this one on the first go 'round. Your writing is great, your knowledge and skill are obvious, and damn, those photos! Thanks for sharing.
I keep putting in for "easy" goat tags, and every time I go on a goat hunt, I swear it's the last one. I can appreciate the sentiment where you start to realize your mountain hunts are numbered.
