In 09, I drew a sheep tag in my home state of Wyoming with max points. Area 5.
My best friend KC (my brother) and my brother-in-law Tim volunteered for the adventure, it turned out to be one of the most awesome hunts I have been a part of.
Our Redneck BBQ, it doesn't get any better than this. I had always wanted to eat sheep ribs cooked over an open fire, dreamed about it since I was a kid reading Jack O'Conner stories.
In 2010, I must have been living right because I drew a mountain goat tag in Utah with only 7 points, a few weeks later I found out that I drew another mountain goat tag in my home state of Wyoming.
The Utah hunt was first, KC and I headed for Willard Peak to find a Nanny. It didn't take long as the mountain was covered with goats.
Ended up killing a 9.5 inch nanny on the first morning
Good partners are hard to come by

The Wyoming Mountain Goat tag was sheer luck, no points system, odds are about half of one percent to draw. But, my name was in the hat and got drawn for Area 2. I spent quite a bit of time climbing various drainages in search of a big billy. In September, my oldest son Kody spotted a big billy while we were on our way to scout an upper basin. He almost talked me into killing one that day (there ended up being six big billies in one basin) but we decided to wait till the end of October when the hair was long. My brother KC was the head guide and Kody was official packer in October when we decided it was time.

Are we there yet?
The Ultimate hunts. Thanks KC and Kody.
