That would be an awesome hunt, much different than treestand hunting for deer and turkey hunts in Iowa. Very challenging to say the least, will be cool to watch this thread! Good luck!

If you need an idiot to carry your gear, I've got time to get in shape.

Good luck on this one. I'll be watching.

Homebru, maybe if your interested. I have a buddy coming out to film from Wi but one extra might be possible. Scouting for sure if you want to burn some boot leather. Shoot me a pm I'll be heading up your way next weekend to visit the parents and shoot some video

Butts2, I watched those clips more times then I want to admit.

Gehrke145 · June 01, 2013, 09:14:00 PM

Well the first day of roads being open starts with my alarm not working, so didn't get out of the house until 745am. Also my new camera did not arrive so things started a little slow.

It took 1.5 hours to get to the area I wanted to hike. I never came in from this side of the mountain and was worried about cliffs and un-passable rocks. The hike in was better then I had hoped, the maps on google earth paid off. Also it only took us about 3 hours to get into goat country (was planning closer to 5)
We sat down and stretched out our legs.

Gehrke145 · June 01, 2013, 09:33:00 PM

A few minutes like this.

And we were able to pick a few out between the snow patches.

I don't know if right know I am more jealous of you or all my friends bear hunting in Manitoba...I do know who I will be more jealous of in August!

A few more pics of the closest group.

To the right you can see a few more on the mountain behind this basin.
