I ran the Loowit trail that circumnavigates the mountain about a month ago.  I probably saw no less than 120 goats that day.  I came away with my own conclusions about where I would target if I ever drew a tag.  Would be happy to discuss with you if you are interested.

I have to give a massive shoutout to Leopold for providing this fantastic opportunity to have my hunt filmed; we got some amazing footage! Also, I must give an enormous shoutout to Jon, our videographer. He is truly one amazing person, and we were all honored to get to know him and call him a friend.

That's awesome. Can't wait to see the film when it's finished.

I don't know where to begin. I spent much time scouting and looking over many excellent Billys, aka Williams. I started calling all my mature Billys Williams because my mom thought calling a mature goat a Billy didn't sound mature enough for an old goat. So I called all the big goats William and the smaller ones Billys.


Having completed seven scouting trips, I found and reviewed a handful of good-looking Williams before the season opened. My options looked pretty good for opening day.
