Mountain Goat Hunt: Just got back!
« on: August 12, 2011, 04:37:35 PM »
Just got back from British Columbia on a backcountry backpack hunt in the alpine for goat. My son was the hunter and he bagged a 9 1/4 inch Billy that scored out at 48. That will make both the official BC record book and the Mountain Hunter record book. I was along as a packer. Without any question, this was the hardest hunt I have ever been on. Those mountains are steep and tuff to move through. Seemed like we were on the go all the time. We hunted from sun up to sun down every day. 4 nights in the back country got it done. Some of the most amazing mountains you will ever see. We saw eveything except a griz. Even ran upon a wolf. Got in some salmon fishing after the hunt back at the main lodge. Here are some pics.

Super cool!! Were you able to carry a gun as a non-hunter?

Not allowed. I could have purchased a hunting license and a wolf tag. That would have made it legal to carry. But I opted for the lite weight approach. It was the toughest hunt I have ever been on. The gun would have become nothing more than a weight to carry around. Although I did would have had an opportunity to take a nice timer wolf.

Any legal issues with the Canadians as far as bringing in a firearm? I would be deathly afraid to book a hunt in Mexico and I have lived in Arizona my whole life.

No issues with firearm or the ammo. There is a simple one page document you need to fill out. You will pay $25 once you arrive at the airport in Canada. Its essentailly a permit good for like 3 months. You can come and go with that permit as much as you want.

 ;)  Hey, just saw this post...nice work..what did your son use to bag the goat???? Plus it is nice to know it is simple to get into Canada with a firearm..I have been looking at moose hunts in southern B.C. but didn't want alot of hassle with the govt...do you happen to know if you can take two rifles into B. C.  I always like a spare when possible..

It was a Savage 116 in 270 win. Factory load Hornady 130gr Superperformance ammo.
 
We only brought one gun so not sure about that. Best to check for certain. I'm pretty sure you can though.
