I let him go this morning!!! this is a extremely large body goat that I think is just a tad short on length. One good thing is that he is haired up with beautiful chaps . Give me your thoughts

I think he's not big enough, but I'm far from a goat guy.

I don't have that kind of self control I think I would have shot the one pictured....he looks pretty good.

Post by: PlateauNDN on October 09, 2014, 08:10:48 AM: Looks good and I agree with others, depends on area if he's a shooter or backup. :tup:

Post by: sirmissalot on October 09, 2014, 08:22:46 AM: Shooter in my book. He doesn't look very haired up to me though I'd wait a bit and make sure he's the right one while you're at it
Title: Re: Shooter or not
Post by: Hittm_good on October 09, 2014, 12:04:20 PM: Very respectable, I'd shoot him. Weather is going to start to play a factor. He looks good!

Post by: HUNTINCOUPLE on October 09, 2014, 12:12:33 PM: Harvest him! Before he gets away and you never see him again! :drool:

Post by: j_h_nimrod on October 09, 2014, 09:41:21 PM: Last couple days of season it is a shooter but with 20 more days, depending on area and how much time you can hunt, I would pass. Hard call though, he is a nice goat and would make a great trophy regardless.
