Welcome to the Hunt Back Country podcast. This is episode number 559, and it is the final episode, the third episode, of the winners from the Exo Experience photo contest that we ran through the fall of 2025.

So Alec and Shane join us today.

They won the best moment photo category at the end of a mountain goat hunt in Montana that was a do-it-yourself adventure between these two brothers.

As you will hear and as you can get links to in the show description below,

Shane is a mountain goat fanatic and he's been on the podcast before to talk about some of his mountain goat experiences.

So be sure to check out those episodes if you're interested.

Today's hunt story is Alec, Shane's brother, who was the tagholder as a resident of montana and we dive

into how the hunt unfolded for them and it was quite the special adventure between these two

brothers before we do dive into that if you guys are enjoying the show it does help us if you can leave a rating or review in your podcast app.

So do that if you can or just consider sharing the show directly with a friend who may enjoy it or benefit from it as well.

And as always, if you have any questions, comments, or feedback for us, reach out directly.

Just send us an email to podcast at exomountaingear.com. It would be great to hear from you.

Hit pause and do the right now. If something comes to mind, otherwise, let's continue on and dive

into this great hunt story with Alec and Shane.

Well, guys, I'm excited to hear this story today.

Shane will kick it off with you, your return guest of the podcast.

I meant to look before we hopped on, though.

I want to say it was probably 22 maybe. Do you know when that was? Yeah, 22 I was on twice for my two goat hunts. Okay.

And you're back for a goat hunt, which is if anyone knows anything about you, not a shocker,

that if you're going to come back, it has to be about a goat hunt.

What's the 10 second introduction to who you are

in case people didn't catch those previous episodes?
