Goat Tuff (pictures
« on: October 08, 2005, 12:08:00 AM »
Hello everyone,
I thought I would post some pictures of my South East Alaska goat hunt.  
The season opened on the first of August, and luckly we flew out on time (good weather).  It was a do it your self hunt that I've been dreaming about for years.  A buddy and I chartered a Beaver, and flew out a day before the season opened.  The ride was unbelievable!  The scenery was breath taking, but the ride kept me focused on the Beaver's gauges (like I know what they stand for LOL).  I teach in bush  Alaska, and I've had my fair share of bush plane rides, but this one messed up my bowel movements up for a week (or it could of been those darn freeze dried meals that taste great going in, but come out slimer green).  
We spotted a couple nice goats on the flight in, but I was more concerned about getting off of the plane.  Afer a couple of barrel rolls, and Top Gun maneuvers, we landed at the lake.  
Here are some pictures.  I will add some more pictures with comments as I go along.
Chuck

This is where the goats live.  Above the snow line.

I am enjoying the pictures and am looking forward to the story.  What bow did you have in the pack???

Hi Brian,
I was using my new Bear's Paw bow.  64@28.
Here is a picture above our camp.  If you look close, you can see our tents.

Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.
