There was an Old Duffer by the name of Jack O'Conner that swore by the round. Ever hear of him?

Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on June 14, 2015, 08:25:02 PM: Hunted it with rack attack in 2012. Awesome hunt. I hope I draw that some day. Saw tons of goats. Brutally steep country.
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: liljozie495 on June 14, 2015, 08:32:02 PM: So jealous, I got many yrs till I'm close for drawing that tag. See a lot of goats up in that steep country, should have no problem getting er done on a big boy. Congrats
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Elkterd on June 14, 2015, 09:27:48 PM: Yes I have and that is why I bring up the .270 and I shoot a 7 mm when it is necessary when I rifle hunt, but the first choice is always my Hoyt Carbon Element :tup:
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Dan-o on June 14, 2015, 09:37:12 PM: AWESOME!!!

And as an added bonus, you'll some of the most beautiful country God ever made.

Great choice. That's what I used in 99 when I drew. Double lunged
A nice billy with federal 140 gr trophy bonded bear claw. IMO there
Isn't a tougher animal to put down pound for pound then a Mtn goat.
Make sure you ankor him good on your first shot. They have no
Problem doing a death dive off a steep mountain side.
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Elkterd on June 17, 2015, 03:03:20 PM: Thanks Falcon,I have 140 grain handloads that ELKBURGER loads up for me and they do a great job! :hunter:
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Elkterd on June 27, 2015, 05:53:58 AM: Next ? On these goats how well is the meat? I have read that it is good and I have read it is tough and gamey? From those of you that have eaten it what is your opinion?
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: danderson on June 27, 2015, 06:06:58 AM: I cut up a few goats harvested by friends from the area all I know is they said it was some of the best meat ever, the secret is as always keep it clean cool and dry
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Falcon on June 27, 2015, 06:54:26 PM: I have taken 2 Billy's.
Both were excellent eating.
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Elkterd on June 27, 2015, 09:26:36 PM: Thanks Fella's I will look forward to hopefully some good table fare this fall!
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Wanttohuntmore on June 27, 2015, 09:34:58 PM: Use your Hoyt!!!! They are often easy to get close to, but pack your 270 with you in case a bruiser billy appears. My next goat will be with a bow.
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: Elkterd on June 28, 2015, 06:59:43 AM: That was/is actually my plan, it is a long season and my first choice would always be to take an animal with my bow :archery_smiley:
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag
Post by: coachcw on July 03, 2015, 07:50:27 PM: Very do able with a bow ...... :tup:
Title: Re: Naches Goat Tag

Post by: The scout on July 11, 2015, 09:50:04 AM: I am so jealous of all the oil tag holder's. No doubt you will get a goat, just enjoy every minute of it. the whole thing is going to go by to fast. have fun
