Differance between a good goat and a great goat!!

Nice goat and mount. Nice to see the extra pictures to go with it.

I don't agree on the mount though.

Well that's my fault because Todd mounted him to the T how I wanted him. He was bedded down on a ledge above me and all I could see was his horns until I finally spooked him and he stood and started up the cliffs. He was looking over his shoulder down at me when I shot. Thanks Todd for a great mount!!

I was looking at the legs on the mount, the work is fine but the legs needed to be altered. Looks to me that it was a manikin that was standing on all fours on a level rock and he turned it so it was going uphill and didnt alter the legs, looks like hes gona fall over backwards to me. The work is good though. Most of the legs should be straight down supporting his weight. If that makes sence? I probably shouldnt have said anything , it just bugs me to see things that get over looked. I'm a picky sob 

  Nice goat man!

I was gonna ask "how come they (the taxidermist) never make the chests as wide as they are in real life? I mean look at the pic you took of this guy ... he has a real broad chest, then on the mount it's half the width ... what the heck? it seems like every mount I see of goats it's the same story??

[M_ray]

yeah leggs should be under him more too! 

[Alpinegus]

I had taken a picture of a goat in this positon. Here is a comparison. Mount looks quite accurate.

Mount looks wrong, look at the legs. See how they are under him in the live picture, almost straight up and down on the front legs. The mount they are angled and not under the goat where they should be.

Pretty Goat, they are tops on my list also...I'd get a full mount done too, looks good,
regardless of what the "PRO" says.

I know, I set myself up for that and deserve it  I shouldnt have said anything. Open mouth, insert foot.  It does look nice.

Not trying to bash you Charlie.    

Now back to subject, do you have any more Goat pics?

     I'm glad you pointed it out, I wouldn't have seen it on  my own.....

To me it looks like the owner mounted it wrong on the wall ,maybe if it was level instead of tilted in a upward maner it wouldnt look like it was heading up hill , just my thoughts , I would like to see a pic of it level on the wall.

If the mount was suppose to be mounted on the wall "level" it would have been. I spent alot of time (over 14 days) scouting and glassing and hunting that year and see goats almost everytime we go bear hunting and I have never seen a goat "fall over backwards" while walking uphill. Thanks for all the comments good and bad, gives me a laugh. And thaks Todd for the mount. By the way what do you think would happen to the "level" of the eyes if you were to mount him standing on "level" ground?

Good hunting Tony

Regardless, that's awesome you got the opportunity to hunt a goat!! Awesome job man, I think it looks great! I wish it were on my wall

Sorry for taking away from your awesome trophy man, My bad for opening my mouth. I'm really bad on critiquing my work and it spilled over onto your goat mount. I apologize for looking at it as a Taxidermist , I should have been looking at it as a fellow hunter checking out your ounce in a lifetime, dandy goat. I did misinterprit the title a bit. In taxidermy there is a big differance between good and great, which is where I take great as being flawless.

 If I ever get drawn I hope to take a GREAT goat like yours but probably wouldnt hesitate on taking a good one

  Again I appologize for being a retread Next time can someone kick me in the nads
