    Well done Kimjon. Nice head on that stinky
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    As long as we are guessing I will say 34 inches

    Clean it. Hang in a tree (with wire) few months rain and UV did the trick for me and that one was REALLY stinky.
    Nearly threw up cutting its head off and skinning it as it was that bad...

    Nice job
    Goat capes are sometimes soaked in nilodour to get rid of 90% of the smell.
    But yeah they allways keep that stale pee smell.
    Would need to hang it high

    Ya get that with a animal thats been pissing all over himself for 15 + years.Probably why their beard / belly hair is yellow.
    They might think they smell sexy ,often smell them before I see them when bush hunting .
