Well I finally completed my OIL tags!!! I shoot this billy Sunday morning after spending 19 hours in a one man tent waiting for last weeks storm to break (note to younger hunters don't go cheap on hunting gear if back country hunting is your ambition) knowing I only had a small window between storms I decided it was know or never on killing a goat ( hardest animal I've ever tried to judge ) I had seen and scout dozens of billys but just never saw that true once in a lifetime goat :( . I finally decide to take this billy mid day got lucky laying at the base of the cliffs in open basin :) . So after skinning and packing back to base camp and the trek out I can say I was completely whipped. It was a true once in a life time hunt that I will never forget :) (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F14%2F10%2F21%2F48bd873aafc04050cb53693751f014f8.jpg&hash=5069691832f976adc3b4f0ac07ed5fbd76d6fa7a)(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F14%2F10%2F21%2Fb5a4fcae6b2a348a949ea035a3f0e915.jpg&hash=4cbadd3c45f694c001580000074b980ed03356f5)(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F14%2F10%2F21%2Ff2bb7cf749fd7a59123dd49df494901d.jpg&hash=4532986fe16b8ca835428fc73ec3e6754d1f3f7b)

Are you saying the secret is to have a fat chick submit my applications? I know plenty of those around here!!! Should I have a different fat chick for each application or is one chick enough? :chuckle: Anything is better than what I have been doing :'(

Congrats Brian on an amazing feat. Especially the part of drawing the tags. Good luck this elk season and keep in touch. Great animals.

Congrats beautiful goat ram and moose I envy your memories every time you look at them.

Being able to shoot a goat this late in the season makes an awesome trophy. Most goats shot aren't haired out that good. Congrats!

That was the plan and goal to wait as long as possible without getting snowed out to shoot one that had a full cost

Ah ha! that's how you have been drawn for all three, you saved someone's life that is high in the wdfw!! Great looking animals, nice job. Most will not get the chance to hunt all three in this state, you should play the lotto if you don't. Congrat's

Nicely done all the way around. Great animals!
I, on the other hand, am older than you, put in every year, and have yet to draw a single OIL..... :'(

Really, really nice goat. The hide is absolutely incredible. Congratulations!
Also, nice job on the field photos- good positions, not bloody, background gives a sense of the environment the animal lived in. Well done on that!
