Just got home from the 2012 Legends anual hunt. Mike is still there and I'm sure there is lots of action to come. I'll throw in some pictures and I'm sure Mike will come on later and add lots of good stuff.

Hunted with Mike Rash of Legends Bows. The ranch is located in the coastal mountains above San Jose. We were almost all testing out his new longbow. It performed extremely well.

Are those the goats that were transplanted from Catalina?

legends1 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2012, 09:22:00 PM »

Same goat, the Spanish, these were brought from Texas.Very hard country on the hunter but the goats,sheep, and hogs love it.The hogs stay held up alot in the very heavy brush.There is water everywhere so its much harder to hunt. As it heats up and the water sources get slim its easier but then its most always to hot to hunt that rough steep country.

Looks and sounds like a cool hunt.How are they to eat?

KSdan · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2012, 09:43:00 PM »

Thanks. Hunted them on Catalina in the early 90s- what a rush. The coolest hunt. . . ocean side, steep cliffs, valleys with hogs. . . and goats to glass and stalk on cliffs. They removed them from the Island late 90s however- heard they moved them to the CA mainland.

Very cool

They are one tuff animal. They also like to hang out in the rugged stuff. Thanks for all of the good wishes. A guy can't ask for much more. A beautiful ranch, great friends, and some really cool animals to hunt.

Bill, those are some great pics, glad I was there to share the hunt with you. Steep isnt the word for hiking out of hells canyon chasing goats up onto the flats for everyone else to get a look at. A good time was had by all.

Oh yeah, I shot my goat at about 20 yds. perfect slightly quartering away, down hill and placed the arrow to exit out of the armpit. Bill watched him as he scooted around the bush not even knowing he had been hit and crumple up only 20 seconds after being hit. The First larger animal kill with a Legends long bow and it is definately a performer. I shoot 60# at 31 in and the arrow never slowed down until it hit dirt. Thanks for a great bow Mike.

Hope Mike can post pics of the hunt from after I left the scene.

Ben,

Glad you checked in. Now I'm free to add to your story. I didn't want to jump the gun on you. Guys, wait until you hear this one. I have to go to the boys baseball practice but when I get back I'll tell you the rest of the story.

rxhntr · « **Reply #19 on:** March 27, 2012, 08:51:00 PM »

battman, the goats are 20+ yr old and even grinding them up is not good. If you can get one of the sheep (barbados, etc...) then those are actually pretty good eating---backstraps and then grind up into sausage.

Bill, waiting for your story and the burning in the legs has gone away.
