AFTER GOAT IN 
ALASKA 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 358 ) 
line of the fore leg, was raised a little 
and then the twenty-two turned loose 
its chunk of lead. At the report the 
big billy dropped in his tracks, then got 
up and came directly towards me with 
his nose on the ground. Once more the 
little rifle delivered its spiteful bullet and 
the old billy, with arched back, turned 
and staggered to his previous position, 
sank to the ground and giving a last 
convulsive kick went falling and rolling 
down the mountain side, rebounding off 
the trees and rocks until I feared his 
horns would be utterly ruined. 
At the same time I was conscious of 
a strange, triumphant thrill of exulta- 
tion, such as I had not experienced for 
many a long day, for I had tracked to his 
lair in the rocky fastnesses of the moun- 
tains, an animal strange and mysterious, 
whose like I had never seen before. His 
head, fortunately uninjured, I recovered 
and packed out to the boat. The dif- 
ficulty I had in reaching the coast after 
darkness had overtaken me, soaked to 
the skin as I was, was another experi- 
ence which will help me to remember my 
first mountain goat. 
I HAVE since seen and hunted the 
mountain goat under various condi- 
tions. Dwelling ever in the realm of 
perpetual snow, his home in summer 
among the cloud peaks of the most in- 
accessible mountains, descending to the 
timber line only in winter, and then in 
remote regions seldom visited by man, 
this strange animal owes his security as 
much or more to the difficulties attend- 
ing his pursuit than to his own natural 
wariness. Many times I have followed 
him at the absolute peril of life and limb. 
Once in particular, while crossing a 
steep slope covered with about four 
inches of wet snow, I fell and started 
swiftly sliding to the bottom. I dug 
my fingers into the frozen turf, but my 
momentum kept increasing very fast. 
I thought I was a gone goose when sud- 
denly I struck a clump of brush. I had 
chanced to be in line with the only one 
near and was thereby saved from a 
two-hundred foot drop at the foot of the 
slope and making a premature entry in 
the happy hunting grounds. Since then 
I have avoided grassy slopes, when cov- 
ered with a soft snow. 
I estimated the largest billy goats to 
weigh between three-hundred and four- 
hundred pounds. The females are about 
one-third smaller, their horns are as long 
as the male’s, but more slender and 
graceful. The mountain goat is a short 
legged and agile animal. The males are 
said to be savage fighters. The Indians 
of the Stikine country tell of finding 
grizzy bear with their entrails ripped 
out, in battles with the billy goats. 
But on the whole these animals are 
non-combative and much prefer to avoid 
an encounter with other beasts. They do 
not move about as much as sheep and 
when once located generally remain in 
close proximity to the place where first 
observed, giving the hunter ample time 
for the stalk and generally for the shot
