I am kneeling where I took my shot from.  Goat was standing on the rock above me at a whooping, SEVEN FEET!!!!

 

Results of my seven foot shot after the goat tumbled head over heals 1000' down a chute on the backside of the mountain.

 

My buddy Benny Pinney was along as a sherpa.

My buddy Benny Pinney and I and results from our recent Adak Island caribou hunt.  Adak caribou are documented to have the highest body weights of any caribou anywhere, up around 700#.  I believe that these two bulls lead by Benny's are probably the largest two bodied caribou ever killed by stick and string.  Benny's bull is 8 feet from nose to tail and 60" in girth behind the shoulder.  Benny's bull is the first on Adak by stick as best as we are able to determine as well.  Benny's shot was 3 yards!!!  Mine was shot at 20 yards.

Jock, Am looking forward to being in your neighborhood next week, the pictures you have posted really have my wife and I excited to being there for awhile. Thanks for posting!
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Steve, those are some great pictures and I love the range! 7 FEET! 3 YARDS! (all the way out to 9 feet) and throwing in the long bomb of 20 yards. That's what I call getting close and getting it done. NICE

Way to go Bennie and Steve! Beautiful pictures and nice animals! Steve I could hardly recognize Bennie in the picture. He sure has matured a lot. I am glad to see that you are still taking care of him. It sure is "good on you" Steve as they say down-under. Is he out of school yet?
God bless,

Jose

Jock, I bet he dont act his age!! lol

Great shots of the goat hunt!! I'd have to have an airambulance to get up there and to get back. ;(

What a great pair of 'bous!!!! My physical situation wont allow me to go after the high mountain prey. But I just might be able to chase a 'bou or 2. Would love to give it a try.

Keep it up 'yall. I'm hopin to contribute in a month or 2.

A quick hunt Saturday morning on my new property before Chase's football practice. Squirrels were elusive, must have been the 86 degree temp @ 7am. Couple of close calls but no real shots offered.

Old logging road, 26acres, our new log home should be finished by Jan so I can hunt this bout everyday.  

 

No squirrels but plenty of stump monsters died. Nice to be able to pass along the love of the hunt without actually having to bring back any game. The smile says it all.

Steve, looks like the goat's helmet sticking up above the rock.... is that actually a pic before the shot????????  If so, must have been a quiet camera - he looks close enough to hear you thinkin' hard!  Now that's a hunt!  
Same goes for the 9 foot caribou.
Quite an accomplishment on so many levels!!!!
