How many have killed a Rocky Mountain Goat with traditional gear

[Hummer3T]

I was wondering how many people in the world have killed a Rocky Mountain Goat with a traditional bow. I know of four, TD hunter, Larry D.Jones, Fred Eichler, and myself.  I have seen pictures or heard of maybe another 1/2 dozen people.  If you have, someone you know or know of (credible) please post it up here.

I just was pondering the toughness of the game, country, weather, costs ( finacially/mentally/physically/emotionally) how many have tried and been sucessfull.

This is my dream hunt and I remember some of those who have taken a goat.
Marv Clyncke

I know I've missed a few.

I killed one in 1989 just outside of Golden in British Columbia, 70# @ 28" "Hill Style" Longbow and a PortOrford Cedar shaft with a 190 Grizzly on the business end.
Oh man those were the days!!!

Didn't even think about him but Howard Hill took two
Probably more folks have taken one then you think. Congrats to you Bert. Never too late for the hunt story.

twenty one is the count so far, if ? are counted in.  I was thinking around 1000-2000 world wide as a guess. I know of one more from the kuiusite so twenty two it is at this point.

Didn't have a tag so settled for this picture.

I got one in 2010 I think.  The traditional records by P&Y showed about 175 entries at that time. Obviously lots have been taken with trad tackle but not entered in P&Y.

I killed one in 2004.  Quite a few of the guys that I hunt with have killed Mtn goats here in CO with traditional equipment:  Dean Derby Scot Hamilton Eric Sawyer Mike Koenig (Mike killed his with a self bow).  I put in for 17 years before I drew a resident tag.  I would attach a photo but don't seem to be able to upload to Photobucket.  Jim

I have killed 2 in colorado one with recurve and one with longbow. My brother Jim has also killed 2 in Colorado both with recurves.
I know that the four biggest in co. records were taken with trad gear.I also know a good number of Co. bowhunters that have taken goats with trad Bows.

I have killed three (1 CO, 2 AK) and have a bunch of friends that also have killed at least one.  Many more goats have been saved from me due to routine extended bad weather where I hunt in SEAK.

It would be a great adventure!  Congrats to all of those who have been fortunate to harvest one or even chase these critters around.

I killed one with a Savage Deathmaster 35 years ago.

I know of several in Washington, going back in time. Fred Bear took a billy in the Yukon in 1955-56, and Glenn St Charles, got one in Canada about the same time.

A dream hunt...

One day.


ak.

[ozy clint]

x2 AK.

they are a bit out of my league financially though, as are sheep.

i happily settle for hunting chamios and tahr in New Zealand. tahr are every bit the equal of a mtn goat and they live in harder terrain IMO, when compared to the terrain i've seen them in while in BC a few years ago.

MARIO LOCATELLI from Hamilton,MT has taken at least 3 with his longbow.
