Rack how long is your Goat hunt ?
You should be in great shape by the end of it or worn out. After last years hunt trying to keep up with the Young Lad's i was pretty worn out. One was a triathalete the other lives and runs around the West Kootenay Mountains all the time.
We chose October due to the Capes being in such great shape at that time.
Good luck , i know you have been wanting one for quite awhile now.
