First Billy!

Congratulations on your first Billy. You never forget your first one, I know I haven't and it was back in 1969. Didn't even own a camera so no pictures just great memories.

Enjoyed that write up and congrats on a very nice billy/cape! One of the better photos I’ve seen.
I’m sure you’ve got the bug now!!!

Congrats on your first Billy!!!!! Nothing better than spending time in the mountains, and successfully harvesting a goat is something to be very proud of. I can feel the heavy pack while reading the tale. Really appreciate the story - helps with the PHD (post hunting depression) this time of year

Beautiful photos and a great animal - well done. Nothing beats mountain adventures!

wow...what a trip...incredible story of how hard work positive attitude and luck can all come together when you just get out there and try...thanks for the great story

ps...on my one and only successful goat hunt we only had wolves howling all around us as we couldn't get out before dark...one guy of the 3 of us was too freaked out by the heights and goat trails that he went back before we got the goat...after he was gone we realized he had all the food except a brick of cheddar and a handful of Halloween chocolate bars...we had all the meat spread out o the small tarp right beside us so it wasn't a very restful sleep...heheheh
