BUCKET LIST BILLY!! Kodiak Alaska Mountain Goat Hunt

[@BillsBuildandRace]

I have been hunting, photographing and writing published articles, covers (and now a book) on hunting for fifty years. I watch a LOT of hunting videos, and this is truly one of the most epic hunts I have ever seen. I climbed New Zealand's mountains to score Chamois & Tahr, so I know just how gut busting those climbs are, how that freezing air hits your diaphram & makes to feel like an asthmatic. Hats off to the photographer too. You captured the sheer terror of those snowy tops. I could hear you silently screaming to yourself, "What the hell have I got myself into - I didn't sign up to die falling off a cliff!". Respect & props from this 73 year old Ozzie guys. i thought I'd seen everything Kodiak Island could produce. How wrong I was. Like I said... epic!

It was an epic adventure, and you are right about blindly climbing through the boulder fields. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

It was an unbelievable trip for sure!!

[@wendellbell6164]

Thanks for taking us along. I had forgot how challenging the terrain and weather is for goat hunting. Great video

[@RackVisionsOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Sounds like you know first hand how difficult the terrain can be. Then add in snow and ice, wow! It was an adventure for sure!!

@@RackVisionsOutdoors I am 64 years old but still very active. You will remember that adventure for along time. When I was in my 20s I built a 50 cal Hawlken black powder rifle and got draw 2 times about 3 years apart. I hiked to the 7,000 ft level tied everything to me and shimied the ledges and glaciers but I didn't have fresh snow to deal with like you did. It was very steep , the lighting and storm ran me off the tops of the mountains on one trip. I got 2 goats but boy you earn them. Thanks again for your video

[@RackVisionsOutdoors]

Wow! Sounds like an unbelievable adventure!! Thanks for sharing that. We are starting to realize that the more difficult the hunt the more memorable it sometimes is.

[@wendellbell6164]

@@RackVisionsOutdoors Agreed. I lost 42 lbs on a 5 week trip to the Brooks Range. Won't be forgetting that anytime soon. Take your suspenders.

[@RackVisionsOutdoors]
