Congrats! You've got more patience than me chasing those crack heads with a bow :chuckle:
Thats a fact
To be honest hunting these Goats. how patient you need to be has affected my Elk hunting. I used to be super aggressive chasing Bulls and these buggers have made me too patient
I need to get back chasing them hard like I used too. Starting in 3 weeks:)

3 years in a row!
Very impressive. :tup:
Thanks! When I first started hunting them 5 years ago if someone would have told me I would kill 3 in row I would have told them they were full of *censored*. That fist year I bet I stalked 20 goats and never even got drawn back, Im talking from 15 yards to 60 yards, busted every time. Frustrating animals to hunt but fun as heck

On that rocky of ground I cannot imagine getting within 50 yards. How long of a shot is typical for you?
(For reference, 50-yards is my absolute limit.)

Do you have the wings of angels?

I shot this Buck at 58 yards as he stood up from his bed. It was impossible to get any closer. For me the perfect distance on a Goat is around 40. Any closer and I really have trouble getting drawn. For me the 2 most important things I look for in a stalk are a Buck by himself and topo/terrain features. Without topo its borderline impossble. Ill pass up stalks on Bucks all day just waiting for one thats actually stalkable

I see. So this is basically open country mule deer hunting, with a bow, for a smaller and much faster target.
Color me get impressed. That’s fantastic!
