I was being half sarcastic but I will tell you that there are 97 B&C entries that are nannies (50 of them making the all-time book). Thus, it's easy to speculate that many more have been killed that would make the book, yet were not entered. So killing a nanny is not really a joke if it's big enough. I would bet a good amount of money that the majority of the nannies entered in B&C are over 10" and many of them being 11" plus. (I wish I was subscribed and could look) When my dad killed his 9.25" goat in BC in 1999, his guide instructed him to shoot a nanny that he guessed at 11.5" and would make B&C easily. Well, unfortunately he missed the nanny.

Saw him at the club with his son the other day shooting. He's already getting his bow in hunting form.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I have pictures of two different nannies in the Baker area that are 12+ inches including the one Jakelope posted. I also have a billy that is pushing 12. There are some big goats up there. That is for sure.

When I draw a tag I will be giving you a call and paying substantially for your services. ;)

Have you been out scouting yet?  Snow is starting to melt but I would imagine you still need to take the snow shoes with.

I'll take the lack of response as a yes. :)

I know James was hoping to get out this week.  Still pretty tough to access his unit but the goats can be found. 

I was out last weekend and found this yearling.  Snow is definitely starting to melt. 




On another note, here are the big nannies people have been referring to:

This is one of them:





And then as previously posted, this girl was photographed in a different herd the very same year. 







But Bearhunter is looking for a billy like this!
