We held too long, and had no choice but to wait.....and that was a good thing.  They were now facing us and walking across a sheet of rock....the 8 of them turned into 16, and the 16 turned into 24....then there were about 30 of them in route to pass right by our scrub blind.

Three of them drifted to the right, including the one with the biggest horns, and were coming straight at us as the rest of the herd were in route to pass to our right.......yeah, every one would be in range soon, real soon as there was no forage in their path.

Everyone of them was now in range and all but a few were in the wide open for a shot, but the one I wanted was still in front with the brush blocking a shot.  I decided to hold yet again for the one I wanted....the Billy.

Tom was to my left and I was bending over with my head in the cover. I'd left my feet planted away so I would have clearance to shoot by just straightening up from the waist. The one I wanted was only 15 yards away now........then one of the nannys spit.....and spit again. This alerted the whole herd, and the one I wanted perked up to see what the problem was.

My 'Billy' started strutting to the right to see what the fuss was about, and just as 'he' was about to present a perfect broadside shot, the herd started to skeedattle.....as did my 'Billy'.

'He' started galloping as he entered the wide open terrain quartering away. All I remember was swing drawing, and the next thing I remember was watching my arrow intercept 'him' just about perfect.


My prize only made it about 30 more yards or so, and collapsed by a tree in plain view.

       


So, I hunted hard, enjoyed camp, and I got to pack a goat off the mountain.

     

What more could a man ask?...even though my 'Billy' turned out to be a big Nanny.

Terry,

Way to get this thread started.  I don't want the stories from the first hunt to end until the second group is home.  That way I can enjoy this read for at least ten days.....What am I thinking, once Lamb starts telling stories it will last well over two weeks.

Thanks for letting us come along with you vicariously!

Terry, That's cool man    :thumbsup:    :notworthy:

Did you bring her home(cape and horns)?  Do these goats stink like domestic goats?

 Love the "packin' out" pic     :clapper:

Well done my friend

Terry good story cool pics to go along with it. But i have to ask how the heck can you stand to wear sneakers in that terrain, that would be a little tough on your feet i would think that is unless your  hooves are as tough as that goats.
