great advice been given so far...agree 100% that at those sort of ranges you should be still point n shoot..dont over think it. you have a dog,when have shot something,use dog to help find it.....even kept on lead its nose is 1000% better than yours,once it is tuned in that find dead animal= food for me...life becomes much easier. by the looks of goats in photos..what you did shoot got shot well..thats a big plus.
keep farmer on side..keep going back and lowering goat numbers and hopefully will find a deer,and by then you will have worked out your shooting. one other thing..if goats are 200yards out in open country,and the cover is where you can shoot....spooked goats will run FROM open cover where they are safe,,,,into cover where yo ucan shoot them..... now how can yo uspook goats so they run into cover??? something loud works.... a shot over thier heads might do the trick..your not hunting neighbours....
