No ethics police
Please forgive the language and don’t question me on shooting I wouldn’t have taken the shoot if I wasn’t comfortable with. Im shooting a 6.5 PRC with a 156 gr Berger.

Nothing wrong with that shot, dead right there.👍

Nicely done.


Maybe I’m just not super ethical but what was potentially the problem with the shot? Just that it was quartering to?

There’s some people on here that would question a frontal shot at 425 yards. And if I didn’t have good rest and bracing and very little wind I wouldn’t have taken the shot, especially on a mountain goat

Solid work!! Great billy. Thanks for sharing. They get in your blood.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Beautiful billie and country, a bit rougher than the Goat Rocks.

Well I’d say the result kind of speaks for itself, good shooting!

Great looking goat, nice work!
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.
