It seems that Rainier10 has infiltrated all of your heads.

Hunters killing nannies in our state really frustrates me. The reason our state is so conservative on tag numbers is because of how many nannies are shot each year. Just infuriating. Do your homework, have patience, and don’t shoot a nanny just because the hunt is harder than you thought it would be.

Ironically, I hear people excuse themselves for shooting nannies because they were “dry” nannies. Unfortunately, most goats don’t start having babies until 4-5 years of age. Max fecundity (“reproductiveness”) is age 6-10 and nannies have been none to give birth until ages 14 or 15. From age 9-10+ nannies will often give birth every other year until death. So unless your shooting a 15 year old nanny you probably aren’t shooting a “dry” nanny.

One nite - some states with introduced goats (Colorado, Utah, Kodiak Island, etc) are able to manage for abnormally high reproduction by targeting the nanny population. Those are unique circumstances not possible with native herds in states like Idaho, Washington, and Montana (except in crazy Mountains which is an introduced herd).

Bottom line: Don’t shoot nannies!

with all that said, I sure hope to draw one of those tags someday. That would be a hunt of a lifetime.

Its silly that WDFW hasn't made permits Billy only. People are provided enough information to make the correct judgment call.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Billy only would not be enforceable, just like bears. I agree with the education portion though. If the rank and file hunters become more responsible in terms of billy harvest they will dilute the justification of special treatment to special interest.
