WY speed goat down

[Hunter0925]

I thought I had to be sick since my tag had been open since the 15th and I hadn't hunted. I told my wife I was going stir crazy and was taking the bow to look for a goat but definitely didn't think I would shoot one. I had one failed 1.5 mile stalk due to wind right off the bat. After that I went to another spot and walked 4.5-5 miles and saw nothing but a group of pronghorn doe 800 yards away running away from me. As a last ditch effort I drove down the road to see what I found for the next day. I only saw one buck and he made the mistake of not running after he got over the hill and out of sight. Not the biggest goat but my first with a bow and the first tag of the season punched. 43 yards shot, slick trick 125 magnum. He ran 25ish yards before expiring.

It was spitting rain, overcast and mid 70s or so. I definitely couldn't complain about the weather.

Numbers are good around my house but they definitely seem lower up north than they used to be. May just be my observation because I don't spend a lot of time up there anymore.

Deer is close and definitely what I'm more excited about! I'll be camping next Sunday waiting for the Monday opener! Good luck!
