This was the nicest Billy we spotted but not very accessible.

I'm looking across the Middle Fork at the ridge we scouted last weekend. I did spot the same Billy in the same area.
Looking forward to next weekends scouting trip!

At least I figured out how to compress these picture's. Sorry it took me a day to get it right.

Those Billies are hawgs. My wife shot a 9.5 yr. old two weeks ago. The meat bag alone boned out and trimmed extensivly was 68.2 Ibs. The back cape was heavy too but I didn't weigh it. So if your looking for an estimate of weight I think I've got you really close with that number. If you score on the big one.
I've killed and helped kill a few billies. Your onto something. When you find a big boy in a happy place like that it's very likely he'll stay there unless harrassed extensivly, weather or rut changes things.
Summer goats are great eating. You'll really enjoy it if you get the skin off quickly and pack clean boned out meat into a dry bag and shove it in one of those snow banks overnight. Just plan on staying an extra night up there after your kill.
Here is photo of my wifes Billy from SE AK. It fell down a hole and she couldn't get to it. I nearly couldn't get to it. One of the horns broke and she don't care. I get one tag a year and so does she and we just enjoy eating the buggers. I went and got a Dall sheep the next week for horns.
And trust me.....putting that meat in a dry bag is JUST FINE! Keep it clean, get it cold, butcher right away, and it's great. Just avoid and contamination and keep it cold. We just keep the back skins to throw over our couches and chairs around the house. It costs us $100 to have em tanned here in town.
Good luck on your hunt and if you shoot a nice three year old billy you'll have the finest table fare around. Its right up there with the Dall Ram I just shot.

This is the one that shows how deep that hole was. I sure am glad I've practiced sport rock climbing over the years.

That's pretty awesome Bighorse! Too bad Alaska doesn't come up with a way to let residents host some non-resident hunters from time to time. You would have a list of Hunt-Wa members about 4000 people long!
I may have to try to hit you up for one of those goat rugs sometime if it only costs you $100 to tan them!
