Here's how the grizzly rug came out. I still can't get over the color.
I've still been doing the trap line a little here and little there. My herd is growing. All these are tanned and I'm hoping to get enough reds to make a king sized blanket bordered with arctic fox.
I pulled a hard to get goat tag in '08 on Kodiak, and went hunting the last week of September. I had the bow with me the whole time, but couldn't close the distance, so I ended up taking a 9" nanny at a couple hundred yards. Here's a few pictures from that hunt. We had to go into survival mode for a night since the pack out was too far. Glad I knew how to build a shelter! The second picture is where I shot the goat. It was pretty much straight up.
The camera batteries died in the mountains, so I didn't get any full body pictures. I skinned it out for a half mount.
