nice one! Congrats. i grew up at the base of the Crazies (and spent a small fortune in the Clyde Park Tavern). there are more than a few dead horses at the bottom of rock slides in the Crazies, including two directly below this spot. ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/1sikpupi/Picture177Large.jpg)

Thanks again for all the kind words. Here are a few more pictures. This was the view down from the chute we had to climb up. I haven't shown this one to my wife yet. ![[Linked Image]](http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss196/trouthunterdj/GoatHunt088.jpg) I carried the pack with the meat and my guide carried the goat cape down. ![[Linked Image]](http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss196/trouthunterdj/GoatHunt092.jpg) A picture of my brother in law and I after we got the goat down from the cliff. We could finally relax. It is exhausting when you have to concentrate on every step and the weight on your shoulders make going down more difficult. ![[Linked Image]](http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss196/trouthunterdj/GoatHunt093.jpg) I found it interesting all the time the biologist go through to age and measure the goats. She could have been a B&C scorer. ![[Linked Image]](http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss196/trouthunterdj/GoatHunt132.jpg) ddj

Great story and congrats on the nice goat...
The Crazies are an awesome place, and I'll be up there this weekend chasing elk, and as always, enjoying the scenery.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Gotta give you my congrats as well awesome hunt and great write up. Nice billy. contrary to what some say, goat eats well cooked right. I was able to get out the whole carcass on mine and processed him myself some of the absolute best chile I ever had out of the grind, the steaks and roast were good too. I don't know how they are after the goat rut but I shot mine in mid Oct of 95 so he was good on the table.Enjoy yours. Magnum Man

Had some of the backstraps with dry rub teriyaki seasoning. Very good.

Dj, very nicely done! Congratulations! I was just wondering about your hunt when I found your story here. Looks like you had great weather too.
