What’s the story of the tape 9-9+ inches?

I'm not a goat guy but my first thought was right around 9.  8.5-9.5 is really tough to tell in my opinion.

The hair looks great to me and I think that is really what makes goats cool.

No matter what the score, I do know it is bigger and cooler than any goat on my wall.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

My guess is off the gap above the goats head on the pack, I have the same pack so i measured it and added some for the curve and what below the hair line.

Score doesn’t matter, it’s the hunt, and the terrain those things call home, love that country.👍

What’s the story of the tape 9-9+ inches?
Left horn I believe was 8 1/2 and the other was 8 7/8. That’s if we did it right. He’s at the taxi now so who knows  :chuckle: I’m very very happy with him.

Make sure you don’t ever lose that photo. I have an old photo when I was two or three standinding with my grandpa over a spike elk. He is gone but I have that photo and those antlers. Priceless.

Funny thing is my sister wanted to take this picture to hang above his crib/ bedroom. Hopefully it’ll be around for a very very long time.

Thank you everyone. I’m extremely pleased with the goat I was able to harvest. It was a very fun hunt and one I’ll never forget.
