Looks like some big brownies could be lurking in that country!
Tons of them, nothing better than taking a leak in the middle of the night and seeing those beady eyes looking at you in the headlamp. They were not a problem though, just had to stay on your toes.
The 3 mile hike to the base of the mountain went quick. We had one encounter with a brownie but ran him off around 200 yards.
Once at the base of the mountain we could see the weather coming, we decided to roll the dice and go up. It’s about a 2.5 hour climb to the goats. A few pics in order on the way up.
Once we got to the top, the weather turn horrible. We couldn’t see 30 yards, we decided to get to a central part of the mountain and hold tight. While climbing up we ranged the farther wall at 580 yards, so everything in the basin would be in easy rifle range. 15 minutes pass and we got lucky with a break in the weather. We could see approximately 30 goats, only one smaller billy the rest being nanny’s. With two goat tags and one being for only a nanny I picked out a good dry one. 210 yards away standing on the edge of a cliff boom!
