Recent mountain goat finished up. This is a November Alaska goat, hence the long hair. Clay Roberts of Big Wild Outfitters has a great area for these winter goats.

Another Goat Finished

Here are some photos of Jimmy J.'s Alaskan Mountain goat.  Note the difference in the length of hair on Jimmy's goat versus Doug's goat.  Jimmy harvested his goat in late August and the hair is probably 2 - 2 1/2 inches in length.  Doug's goat was harvested in late October and the hair length on it is closer to 5 inches.  It is something to think about for anyone planning a Goat hunt as the early season goats do look a little different than the late season goats.

Goat Goes Home

We just finished Doug H.'s mountain goat and he picked it up this past Saturday.  He took this goat in Alaska on a backback hunt (see earlier post in archive).  I am amazed at the length of the hair every time I mount a late season goat like Doug's.  I have included a field photo as well as a photo of the finished mount.

Alaska Goat

Here is a photo of Dr. Doug Hartzler with his mountain goat he took this past week in Alaska.  Doug's goat has 9 3/4 inch horns and should make the awards minimum for Boone and Crockett.  It is the second largest goat that has been taken with his outfitter in the past 10 years.  Doug says it died on the edge of a 250 cliff.

Mountain Goat

Client and neighbor Jimmy Johnson just returned from a trip up north where he took this nice goat.  The weather was bad most of the hunt and finally cleared some on his last day when he was able to get his goat.  He left that hunt and went for an inland grizzly which he was able to get.  I will post a photo of his bear later.
