Your shirt blends in with the stripes on the trees. Excellent use of location specific camouflage. :chuckle:

Awesome!! Did you find any morels?Not that trip.. The weekend before a group of friends and I cleaned up, though. That walk was more of an excuse to get out and see some scenery.. Especially when turkeys were gobbling less than 100 yards from my parking spot. I kinda forgot about morels. :)

Yeah, it was some much-needed "me" time. Glad to have found some critters to stalk.

that speed goat looks like a trophy who long you think it wasHow close did I get? About 40-45 yards.

Silvies Valley??
Close... give or take 20 miles. :)

Dang Hershey, you sure have a lot of guys on here wishing they were single (and you if your not!). How cool of a gal you are and your hunting skills are better than most!
Well thank you, that is incredibly kind. :) :cmp1: I just like to be outside! I have found that if you spend enough time out there, you'll luck into some neat things. :)

Cool pics. Looks like it could be a long, harsh season this summer. Use your skills and stay safe!
I will sure try! It's starting off slow for us... we're usually in New Mexico/Arizona this time of the year.. still stuck at home waiting for the call!

Great pics :tup: Fun getting that close to those guys.... Love the woodland setting, not typical for goats.
Yeah, it seems to happen more frequently here near my summer haunts in Oregon than anywhere else I've explored... probably around a 20 sightings in the woods for me now. :) It always surprises me, though...
