I want to thank all the MMers that helped me with my scouting for my Uintas West mountain goat hunt. You all are a wealth of wisdom. I couldn’t have done it without your guidance.
All together I logged about 80 miles on foot and only saw about 40 goats. The goat I shot is most likely the same billy that I saw back in mid-July about 1/2 mile from where I shot him.
It was a brutal year to have that tag, but it all came together for me on opening day. I saw a lot of kids this summer. However, I didn’t see any this weekend. I hope they didn’t all die this summer. Unfortunately, that herd is going to struggle for a while.
