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.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

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.
