Goat that is!
What a hunt today, this guy had about 25-30 does in his harem. I made a 1 1/2 mile stalk around the backside of them as they fed along a hillside. Popped up the decoy, they were about 85 yds away and here he came full bore! Oh did I mention I had just watched him run off a smaller buck, this was the perfect setup! I had my single pin set at 40 yds, so I counted in my head 70, 60, 50..I dropped the decoy and drew at the same time kinda I think! He slowed and turned broadside walking thinking, now what the heck??? And that was when I let loose with my arrow. That mechanical broadhead I shoot rips a big hole in them. He made a 150 yard death run circle in front of the girls and tipped over! I left him lay and ran into town to get my little guy out of school to come help me field dress him and haul him home.
Before I left for work I threw the tape on him quick and he grew a little from what I thought he'd go "that's always nice!" I had right at 16.5" high and 16" wide, my best goat to date! Scored him at 81 4/8"
Good luck this fall!
