I think he's a good looking goat but not a shooter if you want a big one.
needs a little more height but seems to have pretty good mass.

Depends what area I guess. I would be tempted though because it would be my first speed goat.

Does look like he has good mass, but I would be hard pressed to give him much more than 13" for length.  Cutters look good, but hard to say from the angle of the photo.  He'd ghet a pass from me.  Does have a nice looking cape however.  he would be a good buck to take for a cape to have.  First buck I killed over 15" had a 6" diameter bald spot down tthe back of his neck from fences.  Antelope can have messed up capes, and he has a good black face.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Depends on what tag I had.  I agree with dobby, comparing the horns to the ears you can see he's not huge, but he does have good mass.

A trophy hunter would pass. A meat hunter would probably be satisfied. It could go on the wall either way.

Looks like he has a great cape.  I will be going after my fourth this year and the area we hunt gets hit real hard because there is very little public land.  I would shoot him there no questions asked.  This year I might be a little more picky. :dunno:

I've gone one on the wall that big, so, yes to shooting it if it's your first, but 2nd trip, no way. Not knowing what I know now, which ain't too much :P

nice looking goat, if you are going for a true trophy then I would have to say no, if you are going for a trophy for you and it is your first one, then it does have a nice black face to it, so would say yes.

Second one looks a little wider but looks smaller as far as mass and length.
