Sizing a Goat

[johnnycake]

I thought that would be a given but thanks for pointing that out.

My point I was making about the early season hunting is that it deceptively made horns look longer than what they were since the before this year I've only hunted goats end of September to mid November. Not sure if it was due to length of hair or less swelling of the glands. Was definitely not because of looking at immature animals.

Gotcha. Chasing goats with folks the last 15 years I've come to just never assume anything is a given when talking about field judging. And even people with lots of experience, way more than me, tend to get tripped up trying to judge goats. Usually when it's a solo goat. Without others right next to it to provide contrast, they are just so damn proportionate.
