    At 55 yards, downhill, I got a double-lung pass-through. Goat went 50 yards.
    Here's one of my Shuttle-T's next to the entrance wound. Cape is inside-out, of course.

    Congrats! Beautiful country. Thanks for taking the time to share. That Shuttle definitely did the job from the looks of that hole.

    Did you hike up from the salt or did you have a super cub drop you off?

    Is that tarp all you had for a shelter? Weather must have been forgiving during your hunt.

    I went with Ed Toribio back in 2006. That was one of the toughest hunts I have ever been on.

    Nice job. I wouldn't mind doing that hunt again.

    Post up some more scenery pics if you got 'em.

    6-day hunt. That shelter will endure everything a tent will if staked out right and weighted, but I didn't have horrible weather, that's for sure. First three days windy, some rain and lots of fog. Next three were 50/50. On the day I shot him I didn't get away from camp until 2:30 due to fog (basically, you're in the clouds).

    It's my 4th goat, and second with a bow. Bow definitely makes you hunt.

    All I'll say is that I was above Juneau. I don't disclose particulars because it's a spot that I got a P&Y goat out of in '10.

    Horn length? Your first picture does not give a good reference of their length.

    Broadheads in general are devastating on flesh.

    I am not a fan of cliff antelope meat. Yuck!

    Dont disclose particulars of your hunt AO, a true Alaskan!!!!

    50 yards, a bow will make you hunt, true words. Its funny how those hunters who think tipping over an animal at 500 plus with a high dollar pop gun and super optics is hunting.

    Nothing like a solo hunt in the Alaska hills. For those who have never been fortunate, it cannot be described or understood what its like.

    Nice billy and congrats.

    That is amazing. I'd retire there in a heartbeat
    but my wife is a beach girl. I just have to settle
    for what I have here. Congrats on a super trophy. That's a very difficult hunt.

    Fobs!!! Sweet, I've been using them exclusively for years now. Not many people know about them. I would have never guessed Shuttles. I just never gave them a look.

    Great goat....fantastic looking hunt! I just wish I had better legs. RG
