I am new to goat hunting and was wondering if anyone might be able to help me by letting me know if this is a decent sized billy. I watched him for about 2 hours at 300 yards with my scope and can guarantee he is a billy but I'm having trouble judgeing his size/age. The pics aren't the greatest but it looks to me to be close to 9 in. with fairly heavy bases. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

Sorry, I didn't know how to get larger pics on post but they are in the gallery under wildlife pics as well

Looking at the one I got on the wall I'd say you're pretty close. The face and beard look very much like mine 8 7/8. Probably be very tasty also cause he doesn't look too old.

Hes probably a 4yr old,light in the bases, 8"-9". Look at my avaitar pic. thats a 10 3/8" billy 6yr old. If can hunt them in late Oct. Thats when they have a good coat and beard.

Vinny, my goat is from your way 1992.

Thanks for the help guys. I was just doing some scouting to see what was around before season. Maybe get a little better at judging the billy's from the nanny's and size as well. If I get close enough for photo's at some more I'll be posting them.
