Thanks for posting James! Just returned from hunting mountain goats on Kodiak Island. It's questionable why a guy my age wanted to go on another goat after taking two on previous hunts with single-shot handguns. It confirms what my wife has suspected after 41 years of marriage -- mental instability. I wanted to try for a mountain goat with a revolver while I'm still able to climb. I was hunting a two goat area with only one billy permitted. Took the billy at 61 yards, the nanny at 58 yards. The FA Model 83 .44 Mag. with Hornady's 240 gr. XTP performed flawless. It was also the special for me to use the dall sheep grips Rob Rowen crafted for the FA.
If you're looking for adventure -- and challenge, hunting mountain goats with a revolver will certainly fill the bill.

The goats are amazing. That you are still able to play in the clouds is what REALLY impresses me. Congrats !

Many thanks for the kind words! This hunt reminded me of a movie --- No Country for Old Men.
