Thank you soooo much man! I'd love to get out that way sometime 100% I may end up taking you up on that!

Oh and yes, you are making the right decision. You hit me up before you head out!

Man that sounds great and was only partly kidding. I lease almost 6000 acres of private ground in southeast KS. Too late to get a tag this year but email me anytime!! Brandonsimon08@yahoo.com. Well chat in detail !! Thx again man what a stud!!!

That's an awesome idea! Keep putting in tho. Depending on the unit and how many points it takes.

@@MountainRat Looking at what they gave out this year, it looks like we got a pretty good chance. I have a friend that lives out there that is going to take us out so he will know a good area and how to tell get us a good chance at tags. I'm lucky to have a woman that wants to do that for a honeymoon :) Great hunt video you posted...and nice buck.

@@jheckert1 Yeah hold onto her! When you end up going, send me a some pics on the IG page!

@@MountainRat absolutely, i subbed to your channel so i will be able to find you.

Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼 sub is greatly appreciated

Hi Jacob! Welcome to the channel, welcome to the family. There are a variety of goats that work for packing. Ours are mostly alpine. They can carry 25% of their body weight and most of the goats are about 200lbs. So max they can carry, including the saddle, is 50lbs. Also you have to keep them exercise and in shape to be able to carry it up the mountain. They are fun overall tho.

Yeah buddy!

Thank you so much! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

🤣🤣 Well I greatly appreciate your expert opinion! 🤜🏻🤛🏼

@@MountainRat love watching hunts in my home state so i can always try and guess where abouts its going down. You a wyoming resident?

@@Johnhutchi7 haha I Respect that! We are from Utah. I'd take Wyoming over Utah anyday.

Thank you so much ! 🤜🏻🤛🏼

I have faith in you!

Thank you much!

@@MountainRat Great buck. Check out our latest elk hunt video if you're into it!

@@uptreeoutdoors767 I was way ahead of you! Already had it up on my big screen. Nice work!

We all have souls my dude. Sounds like you're just a hater.

@@MountainRat I don’t “hate” anyone or anything. Far from it. You should dig deep down and explore your soul and question what triggers (excuse pun) the desire to kill beautiful creatures. I don’t hate you; I truly care, and I wonder if you’ve experienced something traumatic in your life that has caused you to lack sensitivity and empathy for other living creatures. I hope you can find the path to appreciate animals living and thriving, and not feel the need to end it for them. Good luck.

@@baseballman4958 I appreciate animals more than you im sure. I understand that conversation is extremely important in the healthy balance of animals. I put more money into the system and spend more time up close with these animals then you ever will. We don't blast animals with no regard or love for them. I want to see these animals thrive. I admire them with all my heart. You're making a connection that if I kill an animal, I have somthing wrong with my soul. Did you know that 10 out of 10 animals die with or without hunters? Did you know that killing an older deer with a weapon is much more humane than how mother nature does it? I eat meat and I'm going to practice my God given right to collect my meat my self rather than buy it in the store. You're feelings are blocking reality. You can choose to not hunt. Thats fine. But hunting is not barbaric or any other negative name you give it just because your feelers can't handle life's reality.

@@MountainRat There is so much in your thoughts that are troubling and even scary, from the perspective that a human could evolve to think this way. I would ask you to at least call a spade a spade, ie, you hunt because you get a charge out of the stalking and the kill. That’s it. Instead, hunters frame it in words like “sport” and “conservation” and “respect”. Don’t insult my intelligence and that of the vast majority of the human race. You literally say in the same sentence that you kill animals yet you love them. You say you want them to thrive yet you kill them. You say 10 of 10 die anyway, so what’s the big deal if I bring them to an untimely demise--by the way, an action that you decide unilaterally is ok, the prey has nothing to say about it? I’m guessing you wouldn’t be ok with being taken out before your time? Think about what you’re saying and how convoluted it is, and at the very least take the romanticism and BS out of the equation: you’re killing animals, you get excited by it, end of story.

165 grain berger bullet out of a 6.5 creedmore. 350 yrds

@@MountainRat the 156 EOL?

25% of their body weight is the general threshold. So these goats weigh about 200lbs and carry about 50lbs each

Spotting scope was a Swarovski 65mm.

Well I'll tell ya one thing. It always tastes better on a mountain.

They sure are a big help! Helps to save the knees too!

180s is a big buck

Thank you so much!

IMR 4350 40g, berger 156g

@@MountainRat Thank you for the info. Your rifle barrel looks pretty long on camera. Whatever the length, it sure makes that Creedmoor fly. During the video, I thought you were carrying a magnum of some type.

@@williammcclelland6789 .357 just in case. I'm paranoid of Grizzlies

@@MountainRat I was wondering what that was on your hip It looked like you were wearing a kydex holster for your handgun Would a leather one be more comfortable?

@@williammcclelland6789 haha absolutely it would! Trust me, I learned the hard way. That holster was ridiculous.

The hat during the interview is GoHunt. They are amazing.

@@MountainRat Thank you, I started watchin the m a couple years ago. but couldn't remember the name. thank you!

Haha you dont like coffee or just folders?

@@MountainRat Love coffee...Folgers is trash. Dark Timber makes great instant coffee packs for the mountains.

@@huntertpj731 hey I'm with you. I feel like folgers was my only option. I will check out Dark Timber for sure!

This is the same buck. He is a wide buck trust me.

So sorry we don't meet your expectations of what a "real" hunter looks like. You should definitely put out your own videos and show the world how it's done.

Yeah i get it. To each their own. But this wasn't your hunt tho, ya know. You do that. Give yourself a few extra days. Maybe you will get a bigger one, maybe you wont.

Get greedy, go hungry. I know the pain of passing up game only to not get one in the end.

Thanks brotha! You got it! We all need to support each other.

You're connecting dots that do not connect. You are extremely closed minded and bias.

@@MountainRat I’m pointing out that the dots don’t connect, ie, it makes no sense to kill your favorite animal!! Let me paint a broad brush and say that most if not all hunters have dogs and love them deeply. You wouldn’t kill your dog, would you? A big part of the problem is in the communication. Yes, I hate hunting. It’s a totally unproductive activity and a human can spend his time in much more healthy pursuits. However, if I accept the reality that hunting will go on forever, I can at least ask hunters to eliminate the BS and stop cloaking it under the cover of something it is not. Start by eliminating the concept of “conservation” and “I love and respect the animals”.

Thank you 🙌🏼
