Ok, I'll play and like the others have stated, I am far from an expert. I see this as a younger Billy, and here's why:
- Picture 2 & 5 shows the more gradual curve of the horn
- Look at the face. The face is shorter and blockier than the longer, more angular face of a Nanny
- There appears to be a slight shoulder hump in all but one of the pictures
- The bases of the horns are fairly thick and not a lot of space overall between the horns. Picture 1, 4, & 5 shows this the best. There aren't the thinner, spindly horns that slightly taper to the top that one sees on a Nanny. There is a very pronounced taper within the last few inches of the horn
- The bases are wider than the eye. Picture 2 shows this the best. A Billy's bases will be wider than its eye
- The facing on picture 3 shows the makings of a nice "V", not the very pronounced, really wide "V" near the top of the horns of a Nanny
If I had to guess, I would say he is around 7 to possibly 8 inches or so and most likely could be considered a harvestable trophy later in the hunt.
I am still learning at judging Goats, so I will find this interesting as I have deviated from what the others have said.
BTW, nice pictures. Where were they taken, Utah?
Thanks,
