The other end of the bell curve.............I don't condone this type of activity as there are many other times it ends in some kind of airlift. I'm pleased for his sucess and safety. -

I was fortunate enough to have a great friend who was a fanatical goat hunter (Ak Nimrod, aka Pat) and he took me on a hunt where I too was able to get a great Billy. It was a hard, but enjoyable hunt that once we were done with the picture taking and animal processing we had a long trip to go to get back to our spike camp. To top off the darkness, it rained almost the whole time. I had a head lamp that's batteries gave out before midnight. Thankfully, Pat had a better set up, and we were able to go down the worse part in a safe manner. We ended up dropping our packs, covered them, and went the rest of the way back to camp for food, hot coffee and some sleep. The next morning we went back for our packs and everything was great. This goat is a beautiful trophy (1/2 life) that I look at every day. Getting stuck once the sun goes down is not something I want to do, but I realize it is part of the risks of hunting in Alaska. I now own "appropriate" headlamps, and always have extra batteries. Looks like this hunter had the right gear, so kudos! I am sure this will be a hunt of a lifetime, so congratulations...now for the measurements ;-)"...and then Jack chopped down the beanstock, adding murder and ecological vandalism to the theft, enticement and vandalism charges already mentioned, but he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you're a hero, because no one asks the inconvenient questions." Terry Pratchett's The HogfatherComment

Agreed, it's always a great idea to push it in the dark.......til it isn't. Many a "there I was" story starts with a decision to do something in the dark that you didn't have to.Originally posted by Bighorse View Post
Dark or no, to drag a nice billy down from a Kodiak mountain to the beach......this guy is a monster of initiative, good for him.Comment
