Shooter or not
« on: October 08, 2014, 05:13:05 PM »

I let him go this morning!!!  this is a extremely large body goat that I think is just a tad short on length. One good thing is that he is haired up with beautiful chaps .  Give me your thoughts

Still looks short haired to me maybe?

I think he's not big enough, but I'm far from a goat guy.

He does have a big body. his glands are very swollen maybe making his horns appear smaller than they are. If its good to you and your happy. Shoot!

Can't wait to see the ending to this story.  Hope you get a dandy.   :tup: 

I don't have that kind of self control  I think I would have shot the one pictured....he looks pretty good.

Looks good and I agree with others, depends on area if he's a shooter or backup.  :tup:

Shooter in my book. He doesn't look very haired up to me though I'd wait a bit and make sure he's the right one while you're at it

Very respectable, I'd shoot him.  Weather is going to start to play a factor.  He looks good!

Last couple days of season it is a shooter but with 20 more days, depending on area and how much time you can hunt, I would pass.  Hard call though, he is a nice goat and would make a great trophy regardless.
