This thing is crazy big to where it doesn’t look real.

Interesting. I just saw a BC goat hunt go on an auction site for $9,000.
It says item was not sold? Does that mean the reserve wasn't hit?

Maybe, or the buyer didn't pay. I'm not sure why it would have been referenced as "Sold" if the reserve wasn't met.Interesting. I just saw a BC goat hunt go on an auction site for $9,000.

Not only is that goat giant but the fact that he eclipses the previous WR by 3" is just incredible. Simply amazing.
This is the real kicker.
When you think about goats and inches...a tiny little bit means a lot. My billy was 1 1/8" from being a B&C goat... but the real goat guys wouldn't even look twice at the one I killed. He'd be way too small. That's a little over 1/2" total difference per side. It's almost nothing. 3" bigger is astronomical and it's still only a little bit per side....

an article from Boone and Crockett about the previous world record (2011) commented that it bested the old record by "a substantial 6/8"."Not only is that goat giant but the fact that he eclipses the previous WR by 3" is just incredible. Simply amazing.
This is the real kicker.

So 3" is remarkable. A record that will likely stand long past we are all dead and gone. I expect hunting as we know it to be no more within my lifetime so a record that will likely stand forever :'(

My only record book size animal is a goat, and mine looks like a dink compared to this one. FWIW an average goat looks like a white shaggy animal with black spike horns and a record book goat looks like a white shaggy animal with black spike horns. As said, tiny differences in length and mass make a huge difference in relative score. So 3" is a huge difference.
I didn't even know I had a record book animal till six weeks after I killed it and was telling an experienced goat hunter about it. He told me that if my measurements were right it was a record book goat. Duh.

What a monstrous goat! That thing is unbelievable! Congratulations to the hunter! They're gonna want him to show that thing off constantly!
Show fees will be a nice little side hustle for quite a while I'm sure.
