1st Mountain Goat

[RugerFan]

I got my 1st Mountain Goat last Sunday on the Kenai Peninsula. Not with cast unfortunately. I carried my .300 Win mag due the extreme distances involved. Downed a nice billy that F&G aged at 8 years old which I'm told is above average. The meat tastes similar to venison, but a bit tough, so it all got ground. My legs still ache from that crazy hike.

Good going. The only mountain goat I have ate from around here, was not very good eating. I really should put in for a tag before I get too old to do it.

What a beautiful area. I need to find a way to make it up to Alaska sometime.

It's definitely a young man's game. My legs still hurt. I got the meat in ice as soon as I could and was pleased it retained a good flavor.
