Mike you are the man, what a hunt.  You had it all and came through like a true champion.  Are you going to do a life size mount?

Thanks for taking us along on the adventure of a lifetime. Lousy weather, grizzlies, a missed opportunity, and last day success in awesome country. You won't be forgetting this little trip for a while! Awesome!

Thanks everyone! I will do a shoulder mount and make the feet into a bow rack. The back half of the Cape will be soft tanned for my wife. The NEXT goat will be a full body. I am doing this hunt again in a couple of years with a bigger billy in mind. Thanks for all the nice comments my friends!
