OIL complete
« on: October 21, 2014, 09:28:26 PM »
Well I finally completed my OIL tags!!! I shoot this billy Sunday morning after spending 19 hours in a one man tent waiting for last weeks storm to break (note to younger hunters don't go cheap on hunting gear if back country hunting is your ambition) knowing I only had a small window between storms I decided it was know or never on killing a goat ( hardest animal I've ever tried to judge ) I had seen and scout dozens of billys but just never saw that true once in a lifetime goat :( . I finally decide to take this billy mid day got lucky laying at the base of the cliffs in open basin :) . So after skinning and packing back to base camp and the trek out I can say I was completely whipped. It was a true once in a life time hunt that I will never forget :)
So back to the OIL tags :) 1999 quilamine ram
And Selkirks 2001 moose .
here are a few pics of camp during my little 19 hour quality alone time during storm :)
Then pics of the next morning
Those white spec are a group of Nannie above the lake .

Congrats on a beautiful goat. what did he measure?

Not many people in Washington have 1 let alone 3 oils.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

You're one of the VERY few hunters that will ever get that opportunity to fill the OIL slate here in WA. Good work. :tup:
