    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.
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    Very nice kill and beautiful pics.
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    Great job! Thanks for sharing the pics.
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    Thanks, fellas. The pleasure was all mine and I guess the pain was all mine as well.

    Awesome! I can't believe he didn't hear the FOBs and jump string

    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    BTW, how many days were you solo on the mountain? Too Cool!
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    Great pics, amazing hunt, great shot...
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    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.

     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    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.

    Nice goat and awesome country.

    I like those Shuttle-T's. They hit in the same spot as my field points with my bow.
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    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.
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    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.
     
    Re: A little mountain goat eye candy

    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
