Welcome to the J. Scott Outdoors podcast. Today we've got my hunting partner Dar Colburn on the line and we actually did a full-blown hour and a half long recap of the Mountain Goat Alaska Mountain Goat hunt yesterday and needless

to say the audio portion of Dar's part of the podcast did not get recorded.

Major Snafu on my part.

After throwing my computer through the second floor

window here at the condo in Colorado and going down and picking up all the pieces. I think we got

it fixed and we're going to try a little take two today and do a little recap with Dar Dar how you doing? I'm doing good how are you?

factor more than the just the thick brush yeah not would you I would agree

with that yeah I was talking to someone yesterday and they were asking me about it.

I'm like, you know, you can train all you want, but you know, at some point,
