I’m so excited to be able to post is this thread now. It’s because of this thread I now live in BC with my wife and 4 kids. After seeing the pics in this thread there was no way I could live anywhere else. I had to go, Aug 14 2018 was when I realized I needed to live here, May 1 2021 I showed up with all my stuff and family. So, in less then 3 years I made it happen. I got a job here then quit my job of 16 years and never looked back.
This was my first big game hunt in BC and my first ever successful big game hunt. I’m self taught with the help of others on the forums. I’ve deer hunted a few times in NS but never got one. So I’m super excited to have a 8” billy as my first successful hunt.
My 11-year-old daughter Brooklyn and I went on a 11 day fly in/out hunt near Iskut. It was a total DIY hut but I can’t say it was all my own doing lots of people helped in the planning.
On day 10 we got the goat; we flew out on day 11. We saw over 30 goats on the trip, on this trip I laid my eyes on the first mountain goat I have ever seen (the lone goat 500m away on a cliff in one of the pics). I had a sheep tag too but didn’t even see one sheep. We spend 5 days at the lake fishing and 5 days above the tree line hunting. It was a vacation/adventure trip.
I sighted my rifle in at the lake with a new scope (vortex diamondback 3-9x40) it was great 2” high at 100, used half my ammo up, so I only had 10 rounds left, then I missed a shot at 300m by over 5 feet high and to the right, so I realized I must have banged my scope or something happened, I took the scope and mount off my rifle and used Iron sights.
So I ended up using a Lee Enfield No1 made in 1911 sporterized by parker hale (it’s a custom no1) and iron sights with reloaded 150gr ammo at 2500fps. This is the first center fire i ever owned and the first rifle i ever bought.
Well, enough talking here are a few pics
