Great Goat James! Congrats. You definately earned it. You've had a pretty good hunting season so far. All your hard work is paying off.

James is taking me to the airport now (heading back a couple days early).

His boys are in the backseat (very well behaved children)!

Here's the unofficial green score sheet, I double checked after the first talley and everything seemed to match up, hopefully I didn't screw anything up and it holds!!!!

 

[BuckSnort]

[Bearhunter]

According to the WA Biggame Records book top 10, the number one Billy since last publishing is 50 0/8, Im gonna take this bad boy to someone to double check my uneducated scoring methods

 

[Becca]

Do Goats have to go through the necessary drying period like typical antlered animals??

 

[Bearhunter]

Yes it's the standard 60day drying period

Here are some Canadian tourist/hikers that were very interested in seeing some mountains goats and hearing about our past weeks hunt for bear and goats. I even gave them some Bear peperoni sticks and they loved them! They were a lot more friendly than many of the Whatcom county hippies that we ran into on the trail!

Heres what happened to my $600 dollar sleeping system after getting it to close to the fire... its know fun sleeping on the hard ground for 3 nights with all the extra clothes you brought on just to try and stay warm...
