Idaho Billy

[naneumranch]

Well, with the luck of the draws, I was one of three lucky recipients that drew a nonresident Idaho goat tag this year. With work and other summer obligations, I was only able to get back and scout once in August, but was to locate and observe a couple dozen nannies and Billy ‘s in a weekend trip with one potential shooter and one monster nanny.

So with September and first week of October hunts out of the way, I’d the privilege to help three buddies with two big bull tags and a sheep hunt, and now it was time to prepare for the goat hunt. We planned a launch date of October 17 and packing in for a week. As we all know this was the first week of high Mountain Snows Throughout the West Coast.

With Basecamp set our Friday morning view was a bit snowy.. we made the great decision to glass from Basecamp. Tell we all went snow blind, then snuck into town for burgers and beer.

An albino giant long nanny.

With Friday evening temps raising and snow melting off we decide on Saturday morning we’re going to day hunt for a couple day. So as we pull out of Basecamp, the 1st miles is straight up through a rock cut to the first high mountain lake.

As we sat and glassed we were able to pick up a small Billy but not in the shooter or even interested category. So we continue along the Ridgeline and prepared to drop into the next big basin.
