Just got home from Alaska and I killed a Mountain Goat. The goat decoy suit worked perfectly allowing me to stalk from 70 to 45 yards while in full view of the bedded goat. It never spooked. The full story is complicated and I just can’t explain it all here, but it involves thick fog, splitting up (staying in sight) with David @stikineguideservice, me mis-identifying the goat, a good stalk, and one of the scariest three hour segments of my life. After the shot the goat slid down an ice sheet into a near vertical crevice, plummeting downward until it became lodged between ice and rock - just feet before an 800 foot drop. All I can say is that LEGENDARY @meateater cameraman @dirtmyth saved the day in the recovery.

Absolutely incredible place. And I can’t say enough good things about David and Cean Benitz @stikineguideservice. David’s a veteran Alaska woodsman and Bowhunter, and I call him a friend. Follow him and check him out. @firstlitehunting @fhfgear #beargrease #alaska #mountaingoat 📸 @dirtmyth

I am going on my first archery hunting trip to Hawaii next month. Hopefully I’ll be able to post my own goat photo soon. What arrow setup did you use?

What purpose does killing a mountain goat serve? I'm educating myself.

instead of shooting the animals maybe you should wrestle them and actually give them a chance instead of you being a little bitch with a gun

As a climber not much of a hunter, this was so gnarly to watch! Terrain looks nuts dude! Congrats

Watched it and it was great content, but man, if meateater doesn’t stop being so greedy and start limiting the ads it’s gonna be the last thing I watch on that channel, because it’s not watchable. 7 ad breaks in a 30 minute video is insane.

Wild that yall flew in charcoal as there aren’t descent wood available. Super cool hunt, and what an assist Cameraman Dirt came up with, scary climbing conditions. 👍

Just watched the episode. Great adventure! I wouldn’t feel bad about your healthy fear of exposure, man. That’s been ingrained into us humans from the beginning. There is a reason it gives most people a very uncomfortable/uneasy feeling. The crazies that don’t mind exposure are the exception, not the rule.

I just watched the hunt. Watching DirtMyth recover the Mt Goat was in essence coming face to face with your own mortality. A man looking into a mirror unable to recognize the man who was looking back at him. Is that me? Is it DirtMyth? No. It’s wasn’t either of you two. It was mortality. The hunt was honestly amazing as I suspected. The recovery was epic and unexpected. Knowing one’s limits shows strength. This is why you made it back to your family. Much love & respect. 🫡 (and unfortunately the mount is better off with DirtMyth so you don’t have the daily reminder and have plenty of photos) And you should feel good about the hunt! You did some work son! Archery is your art. So paint on. Paint on.

Did you ever get the sheep/goat hunting poem/story I sent you through meat eater before that hunt? Heard you talking on bear grease today about how hard the hunt was. I’m an Alaska sheep hunter and figured you’d like it. Just wondering.
