Default My 08 Speed Goat Is Back!

I just picked up my speed goat from Top Notch Taxidermist. Kevin did an awesome job on him! I wished I hadn't forgot my camera on the hunt, so I can't share field photos. Go figure, get all pumped about the hunt and left the camera behind. I shot him on the fourth day of the season. I seen him the day before the season not 400yrds behind the house at the farm, then he disappeared. When I found him again he was about 1 1/2 miles from the house in the bottom of the coulee. I got to within 317 yrds of him. One shot with the 243 win. He then took off and out of rifle range but he was hit hard. We wanted to let him lay down before pushing him any further, when along came a coyote and then the fight was on. The coyote eventually won, and as soon as I drove the truck up to get him the coyote left in a big hurry. I seen bigger ones but could not get close enough to them to get a shot at any of them.

I was in WMU 102/118, When he was in the fight with the coyote he broke one tip off the right horn and he scored 79 2/8, now that the tip is repaired he is just over 80.
