I won the lottery!

Hey guys so I got a call yesterday from the Utah fish and game saying someone surrendered their mountain goat tag and I was next in line! I couldn’t believe it! It’s a central mountains nebo archery only hunt. August 15th to September 4th. I only have 1 week to prepare! I’m scrambling but I don’t want to squander this once in a lifetime opportunity. This will be my 7th season bowhunting and I have not filled a tag yet. I’m hoping my first archery kill is a big billy! I will post pics and share updates. Any tips or advice from former goat hunters would be much appreciated. I just had brain surgery last November so I’m not at my peak physical shape but I feel good enough to hunt. Wish me luck!

Congrats! That time of year the big billies are usually solo or at least not with the kids/nannies. I arrowed a great Billy by simply being patient. Finding them is the easy part, it takes a lot of patience to wait for one to be in a stockable position. Practice steep uphill and downhill shots.

Good luck
