Thread: 2 for 3

On Saturday @chris-b and I went out for some more goats. The initial walk in wasn't bad and within minutes we saw the first goats of the day.
Chris and I stalked into shooting distance without being seen. Both our first shots missed but I was able to get another arrow knocked and on it's way.
I hit the target perfectly stopping it in it's tracks and then it conveniently fell off the ledge above and onto the track in front of us.



Chris went for a bit of a walk while I hung and started gutting my animal but fortunately arrived in time to see me knick the guts and make a proper mess.
I had intended to take the whole animal home to hang but with mess of it all I just took the 4 legs and the backsteaks.

To retrieve the arrows I approached from the top and had to climb through a bunch of tight gorse.
They had seemed unreachable from the track below but when I finally made it close to the spot I saw Chris carrying them along the track below, go figure.

As we continued on uphill we spotted another couple of small ones and started the stalk into about 25m.
Chris said they might be too small but I sort of encouraged him. Chris managed to get the black and when we caught up to it I nearly caught the other with my hands.
Closer we saw they were quite small, skinned the carcass looked more like an abnormally large hare than a goat.



We did some glassing but didn't really find any more *convenient ones


*Ones we didn't have to crawl though the gorse above to get to.
