Found this one this morning while scouting.

Just starting to field judge these critters. At first I thought this might be a small billy but the more I watch I think he may actually be a pretty good one.

I’ve never had them scored. I tried scoring this one myself and it was 53” ish. I got a few really old goats at 10-12yrs. I hope I can help new goat hunters. I’m not in the “any goat is a trophy” camp. We can do better and selectively hunt this species.

Easy to say when you can hunt them every year like we can in AK. One can even say the same for sheep, like the ram you killed in unit 13 could of used another couple years . To each their own and perspectives change as one gets older, more experience etc...

Thoughts on this one? Scouting trip this weekend, seems to me like he has some age.

You mean the 38" full curl 7yr old ram my 13yr old daughter killed and was subsequently stolen by a wolverine. That one?

Yeah. And let’s not forget that delta ram. Like I said, experience changes perspectives. Nothing wrong with the guy that blasts a 3 year old billy or nanny. To each their own. No need to try to shame people.
Good luck this fall!

Sorry man, there's a massive difference between taking a 7 year old ram and a 3 year old nanny... any biologist can confirm that.

Different how? A 7 year old ram isn’t even legal in Alaska. A 3 year old nanny is. Biologically how can you compare the two?

Full curl ram isn't legal in Alaska?

I meant the effect on population/herd by taking a 3 year old nanny vs a 7 year old ram.

 

[NUGGET]

How can you compare the two biologically? That doesn’t make sense. Two different species

what I called out with big horse is him calling out people for shooting young goats but he kills young sheep. Don’t be a hypocrite and if it’s legal who are we to judge?

 

[Liv2HntBigBullz]

Alright ladies let's take your argument offline. No one cares about your respective mountain game prowess, we just want to see pictures of mountain goats.

Back to regularly scheduled programming, here is another goat wandering around CO.

But, we do care about conservation. I’m no biologist, but I do understand this.

Now let’s see some billy’s

 

[XLR]

Some Colorado Goats!! Would be interested in other members projected scores, and length. First close up is a lone Billy. Second is a good CO Billy in front, a young billy behind him, and a Nannie. These two billy's are on the Hit list for September!!

 

[KineKilla]

The mass that the older billy carries is impressive. A lot easier to identify a mature billy vs. juvenile when they are close together and your optics afford you a clear view.

Separate them by a good distance or in separate encounters and it may be hard to decide. Unless you hunt them often and have developed an eye for their size.

Wish they were here in Ut. I may try to steal one from ya if so...lol
