Mountain goat hunting is, at times considered the poor man’s sheep hunt and for good reason. It is a physically demanding hunt that requires hard work and determination. Be prepared to climb steep rugged terrain with sweat coming from every pore. When you stop to rest, you will get the chills so to stay warm, you just push on a little farther. Sounds intimidating, but I am here to tell you that when you’ve glassed that many mountain sides, finally found the giant billy that you’ve worked so hard to get up there and you squeeze that trigger, it is one of the most satisfying experiences you’ll ever find.
