Nothing like a little incentive to get out and start training for sept.

[Stone Sheep Steve]

If I posted the pic of the only goat that I've ever killed I would get laughed off the site...so here's the live ones.

This is my first goat taken last year

[Gateholio]

Actually I am looking for references for drawing and painting a goat, to possibly use as a logo for our club. BUt I will go goat hutning if I get an LEH draw :)

Thank goodness the consequences of miss-identifying targets for photographers is not as serious as it is for hunters. Got to love those Rocky Mountain Sheep goats:wink:.

This goat deserves its own thread.

He and his dog packed the whole thing down for a full body mount in one trip. They left in the morning and got off the mountain just at dark or it would have been a night wrapped in goat skin with a doggy heater...

Thats one hell of a Billie!!. Tough to beat a set of 11 1/4" horns. Congrats

very impressive billy. hard hunt i'm sure. congrats on your success!

[TSW]

:eek:...wow...thanks for posting more pics...any idea what it scored? Is it a Skeena billy? Actually, in order to not hijack a thread, I vote you start a new thread, starting from the beginning with that goat!!!! Inquiring minds NEED to know!!! :mrgreen:

[porcupine]

If you google "mountain goat pictures" you'll get a ton of them. Nice goats guys.

I promise that if I get a goat that big I will not kill another goat again!!! You heard it here first! :wink:

[Tenacious Billy]

That thing is absolutely A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!

[ThinAir]

That thing is a FREAK.

We need to know what it scored....I'm guessing it was killed somewhere off a river in the rocky mnt trench:-D. Makes it even MORE impressive.

That's a good one...BCbillies not shooting anymore goats! HA! I have no doubt you will pull the trigger on a Booner, (as long as you quit letting "the other guys" take them) but I'd be very surprised if it was your last goat! Although, if/when you do, I guess that means that you'll be relegated to camerman/sherpa just like ThinAir!! That could work out really really well for me...I like it.

PS it's official, this thread is OFFICIALLY hijacked.

[luckynuts]

Oh My God!!!!!!! That is the Billy of all our Dreams! What is this doing in a pic thread for pete's sake !!! we need a story Man! Sounds like an unbelievable tough hunt.. I can't get over the tip to tip spread on that thing Like someone said earlier AWESOME !!!!! Huge Congrats to the hunter

[BCbillies]

PS it's official, this thread is OFFICIALLY hijacked.

A guy can't just post a billy like that and leave us hanging . . . at least we got photos and not "a buddy just came back and bagged an 11 1/4" booner billy, not sure if he has photos, he may have left some gear on the mountain?" Kudos to the hunter for bringing back this billy, for letting Rugersingle post on this site, and for taking a dog on the trip! We took a young lab on a goat hunt once (and never again). He did take part in a very successful hunt.

BTW - Just to clarify, what I meant to say earlier "I will never kill another goat again . . . with the 375"! Been under a little duress getting ready for all these hunts and I wasn't prepared to see a set of horns like that show up!

[Rugersingle]

PS it's official, this thread is OFFICIALLY hijacked.[/quote]

Didnt mean to send things off on a hijack....the title said" Goats...dead or alive" so thats where I put it. Young fellas coming over tomorrow for a BBQ. I'll ask him if he wants to tell the story in a new post.

Last September, and, most likely, the only goat I will ever shoot. Now if I was younger, I would be addicted to goat hunting, and would shoot more. Definitely a young person's sport.

Here's a beast of a billy (at least body-wise) from our hunt with CITR. We knicknamed him "the Clydesdale". With 2 billies already down we passed on him 2 consecutive days and on the 3rd day we decided to finally make a play on him. We just started to make a move and he walked off into the cliffs and never came out.

http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/medium/2011_Cassiar_hunt_153.jpg (http://javascript<b></b>:;)

A much, much smaller billy popped over the ridge and came over to this big guy and started pushing this guy around. The big billy was an absolute pussy! He kept running away from the little guy. There's a short clip one one of the episodes. It was hillarious to watch!

One from Aug 1st this past season -

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad344/ursusarctos/goat1.jpg

Quite a performance to get the photo/video. Had my legs pinched on a slab of rock, leaning out over the ledge so I could run the camera.

Any guesses on his size? ;)

[Jagermeister]

Here's a good close-up of the face, hopefully this helps with some of the details. Let us know how it turns out.


http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa67/bruin_photo/IMG_0184.jpgSure makes you appreciate the potential danger of those nice shiny horns, doesn't it? Those Valhalla rockclimbers keep feeding them, they might find out how sharp they are.
And that is a very detailed closeup.

[kennyj]

That is a fantastic photo. What an awesome goat. He must be 10'' x 6'' and 9 years old?

Some fine Billy's in here!! Iv gotten out a couple times this winter, almost pulled the trigger in December, but my hi hopes of 10" had me hiking out empty. Hoping to get out another time or two before feb 28. If the sight was mobile friendly for sharing photos, I'd have some to add.

Any idea what that Billy scored. Reason I'm asking is the horns look thin. I shot a 10 and a half inch Billy but it didn't score that well as the bases were thin as well. Sure is a cranker regardless.
