I went up a couple days early to scout for a moose for my dad and to hunt a specific goat I have seen for 4 years. This goat lives up in the forested area right next to all the deer and elk. I headed up early on Sunday morning and was getting into his hangout when I spotted him running down the road in front of me. Of course no bow in hand I watched as he took his herd up the hill. Finding that no one had taken him I decided to walk in early and get setup before they walked up the ridge as it looked like a routine they had been following for a while, from evidence of the trail they had been using. Monday morning I started walking up the skid road when I saw some does 100 yards ahead but no buck. I played cat and mouse with the herd for about 100 yards but lost ground to the does which where now 150 yards up the hill. As I was looking for the buck I looked a little to my right and caught the buck feeding at 60 yards. As I drew on him he looks up at me. He starts walking and I put the 60 pin dead on his neck. After the shot the buck stops and the arrow takes out his jugler.
He walks 20 yards and within 2 minutes stumbles to the ground. Like I always say better to be lucky then good. He was all I thought he was and I'm very happy to have taken him. Hopefully the does will pick up another buck to take up to the trees to start another generation of bucks in the heavily forrested trees.P.S. We will have to wait until next year to see what "Captain Hook" will score.
What do you guys think he gross scores?
HuntTalk hat for extra fantasy points. Oh yeah, I'm not on a team.
