I hunt hard by almost anyone's definition while packing bulls out of the gnarliest places in Idaho on my back (and those of my friends).
That video was a reminder there are levels to difficulty though...and they are a few levels beyond where I'm at. I wish I were a couple of decades younger so I could run with them.
Thanks for sharing.

If you're not burning through batteries in your headlamp,...you're doing it wrong.

Cool video!
I didn't know that JOMH/BTK had videos. I like the podcast.

Parked truck Walked 100 yards Laid rifle on back pack bang, flop. Drawing the tag is the hard part. Ditto Goats. Kinda silly wearing chaps on a road hunt don't ya think.

Oh, brother.........is there a Dr in the house? Can I take 3 Tylenol? TFF! 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.

Wow. I'd love to shoot a Billy, but would have to nope that hunt. When you gotta try to sub 550 cord for climbing rope, that might be a sign.

Great video! Pretty positive I am not tough enough for that hunt. I thought help a buddy out in late November on a goat hunt in ID was hard...

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. I’m in the early stages of putting together a very similar thing but not necessarily for goats, at least not initially. My first order of business will be brown bear…3-4 guys max with 1 staying with the boat. I’ve considered the fact that in a good protected cove with good holding power and a lot of scope leaving 1 onboard probably isn’t necessary but “probably” isn’t good enough for me since it’s guaranteed that Mr. Murphy will pay me a visit if I do. If I’m using my 20’ Duckworth as a tender I wouldn’t be “stranded” should the anchor not hold but I don’t think I’d be able to relax for the hunt enough to enjoy it since I’d likely be worried about the big boat the entire time. It’ll be a couple years but like you I think about it daily and I fall asleep dreaming about it…hell, at least half the fun of taking fishing or hunting trips or grand vacations to the tropics is the anticipation of the trip. I hope you guys have a blast and I don’t doubt that you’ll be successful. Hopefully you’ll do an after-action report and give us a glimpse of your dream hunt. 👍🏼

Parked truck Walked 100 yards Laid rifle on back pack bang, flop. Drawing the tag is the hard part. Ditto Goats. Not even close to a legal ram here. Makes it a little harder. On my last goat hunt, we spent three nights in three different watersheds. Spotted goats about four miles away and spent the day relocating to a spot below the basin where the goats were. Climbed up the next day and watch two billys for an hour or so. I commented to my partner that I could shoot that goat, but he looked better there than he would in my house so I was going to pass. He felt the same way, so we let them be. I climb up into that basin once in a while, just to look. The goats are usually there. I think I'll go up again this year. Just to say hello and get in some camping. GD

At 25, I went on my first sheep hunt, solo. Two 14 hour days, packing my ram out 18 miles, also had me replacing all the straps and backbands on the Kelty pack. The pack out weighed more than I did (150lbs). To get on my feet, I had to get into the pack, sitting down, roll over on my knees and climb the rifle to get up. What fun! The next year I took a pack-dog and my girlfriend in there, for another ram. The following year, she shot a ram larger than either of mine, on our honeymoon. She might not be all that smart either... At 75, I'm no smarter, same body weight, but older and less motivated and in-shape. The 90 lb Lab has long since died. I still have the girl. And the pack (well, actually a clone acquired 5 or 6 years later with a cabin purchase - I broke the frame on the first one packing moose).

30 years ago, maybe. Couldn't do that anymore. I'm still dumb enough to help pards get a deer or bear out of the woods though.

My favorite deer hunting spot. Occasionally elk. Snake River Canyon. Pack frames are the only way to haul them out.

"And horses in the background for another photo op. At least they got the trailer out of view."
Yawn. Idiot is unaware you don't toss a sheep up on your back and carry off a hill, into a canyon and then up the other side.
Was only 75 then.
BTW last time I was at Mt Rushmore, the Goats were no tame a spear would have worked. Getting up the nose of Jefferson for the shot wasn't that easy...
