Awesome goat! Goats seem to offer a lot of quartering shots. My brothers bullet entered in the hind quarter and came out on the opposite side in the neck. Dropped dead instantly

Awesome goat !! I have always been amazed at the size of those things, they are sure a damn site bigger than my pigmy goats I had  :chuckle: do you guys that get these tags pack the meat out? I ain’t a fan of goat meat so I would have to find someone who would want it !!
Title: Re: Oil tag filled mtn goat
Post by: elkrack on October 02, 2018, 06:52:29 AM
It’s illegal not to pack out the meat

I did, and I know Scott did. Pretty sure it's illegal not to. It's pretty tasty too. Not too far from deer meat.

That's an awesome Billy! Congratulations! He has a great looking coat of fur for the mount too. That would probably be most important to me over score or book status. I would have the entire hide tanned!

You should have the blood spot on the mount.
Congrats.

I went with the second one and even asked if he could add snow and ice to the rock. Man I can’t wait to get it back next year. Already looking at the wall thinking of where I could put it  :chuckle:

Yes he was all alone. Just chilling on a rock slide. And for the other questions yes we did pack the meat out. I had 2 great friends along with me that packed the meat while I packed the head and hide. Never had goat, looking forward to trying it.

The taxi I took it too today said he makes it so it can be washed and cleaned/ dusted so that doesn’t happen.

What’s the story of the tape 9-9+ inches?
Title: Re: Oil tag filled mtn goat
Post by: Rainier10 on October 03, 2018, 04:32:28 PM
I'm not a goat guy but my first thought was right around 9.  8.5-9.5 is really tough to tell in my opinion.

The hair looks great to me and I think that is really what makes goats cool.

No matter what the score, I do know it is bigger and cooler than any goat on my wall.

My guess is off the gap above the goats head on the pack, I have the same pack so i measured it and added some for the curve and what below the hair line.

Score doesn’t matter, it’s the hunt, and the terrain those things call home, love that country.👍

Left horn I believe was 8 1/2 and the other was 8 7/8. That’s if we did it right. He’s at the taxi now so who knows  :chuckle: I’m very very happy with him.

Make sure you don’t ever lose that photo. I have an old photo when I was two or three standinding with my grandpa over a spike elk. He is gone but I have that photo and those antlers. Priceless.

Funny thing is my sister wanted to take this picture to hang above his crib/ bedroom. Hopefully it’ll be around for a very very long time.
