AK Archery Mountain Goat - Part 1

This is a SoloHntr Film presented by Crispi.


I think everyone dreams of hunting Mountain Goats. I know I did. Some days I felt like it could be a real possibility and other times I felt like there was not a chance I could ever make it happen. But fate, hard work and friendship found us on the Alaska Coastline, hopping on a plane and headed into the bush to fulfill a pair of dreams. I've never felt as casual and comfortable for a hunt as much as I did for this one. Maybe it's just the age catching up to me. Or maybe I'm beginning to let preparation and experience take over my thoughts more and more. In either case I'm finally hunting Mountain Goats and I'm doing it with a great friend. 

As I've had more and more experience and opportunity to hunt in Alaska, I think l've learned that I'm hunting for the adventure just as much as for the game. The views are stunning, the weather is trash but the mountains are filled with Goats and Bears, and much to the delight of Kendall, covered with ripe blueberries. 
 
This hunt was a perfect blend of emotions. From me killing a great Mountain Goat with my bow, to Kendall getting his first Black bear at just a few short yards. To the final push into no man's land to find a second Billie for Kendall on the last day and the long march back to camp in the late hours of the night. Nothing mother nature had could bring down the great vibe we had in camp all week long. The hosts and guides were amazing. The company extraordinaire. And now the memories are finally packaged and ready for us to share. -TIM BURNETT, SoloHntr.com

Mid Season Boot Selection

Many of us are in the process of swapping out some of our early-season gear and adding in our mid-season kit. Which for most of us means your garage or gear room probably looks like a bomb went off. Along with heavier base layers and more insulation pieces you may want to think about switching boots. It's about time to clean up and condition those lightweight, early-season boots and break out something a bit more heavy duty and warm.

It's no secret, most of us don't take care of our boots like we should. We go out scouting, hiking, hunting and upon returning home our boots get pitched into the closet/garage and there they sit, dirty and waiting for a little TLC. The reality is that the TLC our boots crave seldom comes.

Lacing Style Alternatives

Feet come in all shapes and sizes. Long, skinny, wide, short and all kinds of combinations in-between. Boots come in a few shapes and sizes too but not nearly as many as there are different feet. This makes finding the right boot fit sometimes tedious.
