But not particularly these: Sneak around until your shot looks like this: And you get this: [img]http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj241/mtcazador/2010GoatHunt060jpgresized.jpg[/img] Build yourself a fire and eat tenderloin: [img]http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj241/mtcazador/2010GoatHunt074jpgresized.jpg[/img] Then pack it out like this: [img]http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj241/mtcazador/2010GoatHunt076jpgresized.jpg[/img] See.

Enjoy, Taylor

My wife said she is getting pretty excited to go goat hunting after stopping by to pick up the crampons and hearing about this hunt. Guess that leg is more than back 100% with putting it to the true test on this hunt no doubt. Way to go man!!!
