This buck is above, but I like the before and after of him. 83+ B&C. I watched him from April - September and shot him on the archery opener in 2003. The only year I've skipped elk hunting to hunt a goat.

Here's 3 record book goats taken in the span of a year, that all net score exactly 81. What are the odds?

My boy's been on a number of great goat hunts, and will get his first buck next year. He was only drawn for doe this year, he was 11 years old.

Some from years past with him along..

My Dad with his first and last goat, both over 80 gross, one qualifies for the B&C awards book.

Well I'm guessing you are from Wyoming, there are a lot of respectable bucks there, congrats!

Couple repeats in here, but different angles.

Most are from MT. One from AZ, a couple from SD, and some from WY. My favorite place in MT has been ravaged by winters and EHD so I'm now a meat hunter with my boy. It will take a decade of easy conditions for the goats to come back to where they were in 4 years ago and earlier. I really enjoy hunting antelope and looking at everybody else's photos here.

The very first goat I posted above is one of my favorites. He scores 85+ and I had a couple darn close calls during archery season with him. Had I taken him during archery he would have exactly tied the MT state #1 P&Y buck, taken by a friend of mine 20 years earlier. That goat had a 6th sense. Coulda, shoulda, woulda..
