Badlandcat- those are some real nice goats, would like to see some more pics of them. All taken in the same area?(not specifics) State?
There are some beautiful goats on this thread, bummed I have to wait so long to get another tag here in Nevada.
Here are a couple of antelope that my youngest and I killed in Wyoming in '08. We gathered points for three years and this was his graduation from high school trip.
These were both killed by 10 o'clock on opening morning. We also killed three does the next day and went home. Homework pays off.
The kid's buck scored 77 6/8 and mine was around 75. There were bigger ones there, but we only had limited time to hunt and aren't really super-trophy hunters anyway.
Here's mine from this year. I think from the same unit as BigFin's, shot a couple weeks earlier.
I was very happy with mine, some really nice antelope posted here based on what the game warden was saying about the horn growth being way down due to the drought that unit has been having.
I can't stand it any longer and will join the fun.
