British Columbia checked all the boxes you’d want in a mountain goat bowhunt. Lots of nice goats, check. Beautiful rugged mountain, check. Insanely epic vistas at every turn, check. Grizzly bears, check. Sunshine, rain, wind, and snow all in one day, check. Brutal climbs to get into goat country, check. Backbreaking pack outs, check. I had great bowhunt and was very fortunate that it encompassed the total experience. The sense of accomplishment with each obstacle that was over come is not something that I will soon forget. My outfitter and guide were fantastic and worked very hard at every turn and I was super impressed all the way around. You’d be hard pressed to find better people. Well, here he is. He was aged at 7 years old by the Bylaw wildlife officer. His Horn length is 9 1/2 and 9 ( broken tip). We spotted him on a face of finger ridge the evening before at about 730 pm and although we didn’t see him in the morning we still made the 4 and half hour climb. We managed to find him and I was lucky to make a 12 yard shot. I am excited and yet humbled at the same time. It was an awesome experience.
Wow! What an amazing hunt, thanks for sharing and congratulations! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Went out for a quick sit Saturday afternoon for opener, had my target buck show up with 5 minutes of shooting light Friday night but no luck with him Saturday. Had a nice encounter with this 8 point though!
Great start to the season boys! We’re definitely flying under the radar this year but I feel like we can make some waves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ended up getting chased by a pop up thunderstorm. Drizzled a couple times and then the skies opened up, wind and lightning. I did get cameras up on the property, looking forward to getting some pics. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Congratulations Trial. I have “hunted” them with camera in Colorado, and gotten a few good pics I will try to remember to post. The getting to them difficulties is a challenge for sure, and with a camera, my “packing out” is non existent, so I can only imagine the challenges in getting meat and cape back to level ground.
