I spent about 10 hours today running up and down the mountains chasing goats. Had some good looks on a few pretty good sized billies but could not get them to give me a broadside shot. I settled for a smaller (and better tasting hopefully) nanny at roughly 18 yards.
Here is a small herd in some ridiculous terrain.
This is the herd the nanny came from. I really wanted that black billy in the center or the bigger brown nanny to the right... I guess they get big by being smarter than hunters...
The shot was from above and entered just in front of the last rib, and exited out the opposite shoulder blade. one lung only.
The Nanny only ran 20 yards. She rolled about 600. Even though she is small packing her up to the top of the ridge was hard work!
You can see the broken bit of my arrow is all that is left in my quiver.
