Was surprised with a tag in my mail today when I returned from vacation. Anyone on here ever hunt this, or know anyone who did. Luckily I have business meetings in Sun Valley tomorrow and Tue AM so I will bring the optics along and glass from the Hwy Tue to get things started.

Awesome. I will contact both of you later this week when I am back from my work conference. Luckily the conference is in Sun Valley, so I'm going to run up and glass from the Hwy for an hour tonight.

That's a pleasant surprise...congrats.

Yes it was. Lot's to figure out, starting with how I can lose 20lbs overnight!!

I've eaten nothing but salad since Friday, despite being taken out to some pretty fine establishments while on business in Sun Valley.

It will be nice to compare some scouting stories. Off to bed so I can get up early and run....

How did the season treat you? Were you able to harvest?

BPKHunter · Jan 15, 2015

Yes.

Very old 10.5yr old Billy. Unfortunately he took a long steep tumble.

He started cartwheeling from the base of the tall red-brown rock above me in this pic.

Here are the 3 exit wounds from my 168gr rounds, which shows how tough these guys are. I thought I may be missing him based on his total lack of reaction.

Here is a pic of the same goat from one of my 3 scouting trips where I took probably 100 pics of him. I just fell in love with his mature look and "give a damn" attitude. He is just under 9", so not a trophy by the standards of some, but all I wanted. This is how I will have him mounted. Of course my Taxi will need to add back some horn on his left side!

Neat story.

That is an awesome goat you got. Great pics and congrats.

Well done! Nice goat. The Boulder mountains are definitely rugged. I live in Ketchum and hope to draw that tag sometime.

I see goats in unit 48, every time i'm fortune it enough to draw an Elk tag, and i got to see them this year too,and i always enjoy that part of my hunt. Thanks for sharing..
