Congrats to both of the lucky Mt Goat tag holders!

[Duckbutt]

Congrats all!  Looking forward to those stories.

Already a success in my book.  Just to be there matters

If I can't draw a tag, I'd be honored to go along on TradGang.  Congratulations to all of you.

Tag in hand.  Its for real and no longer surreal!  Finished my first 70.3 ironman last Saturday, with two more triathlons, a half and a full marathon to go, I should be in decent shape... at least half as good as the goats!

Bring back a goat and a storie for us old fat farts ! So we can dream.  Good luck

This is a serious question and I don't want you to think I am being a smart alek,...

In that training regiment, after you have already done a number of triathalons and full marathons, what good does a HALF marathon do you?

[Whip]

What a dream hunt!  Hope to read some great stories this fall from every one of you Trad goat hunters.  Mountain goats are one of those animals that have been a dream of mine but as I age the chances of it ever happening are slipping away.  I'll follow yours as if I am in your boots!

please take pictures !!!!

Enjoy the beautiful country...

Congrats and good luck.

WOW!  Go for it!

Here in BC we can buy those over the counter and go hunting.......tag cost $40......just had to rub that in a bit   :p  
Congrats on the tag......I hope you arrow a big, shaggy, off-white  monster with a single, perfectly placed arrow, on the last day of the hunt, after numerous stalking opportunities. In other words, I hope you make the most of it    
Nothing at all quite like hunting the high country.

Good question.  Training is training.  At my current speed and weight I burn about 1000 calories per 6 miles of running, and the lighter I am the easier it will be to climb those peaks.  Its really all in good fun for me, I have been running and tri'ing for the last year and really have enjoyed pushing and challenging myself.
