I guess you left a good billy for a deserving hunter! jeff~ Utah does have nanny only tags, so it was probably one of those. What bothered me was the "tactical" shooting of a wet nanny with her kid at her feet, maybe even nursing at the time of the shot. Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

I took a mountain goat in the Cabinet Mountain Wilderness and believe it may have been my ultimate hunting adventure. BTW, after this hunt and much reflection I drew this conclusion. I summerized it as the following... I wanted to hunt mountain goat... and for my sins I drew a tag... enjoy the hunt... enjoy the pain... cherish the memory of the adventure!

I was surprised how many there were (kids). I assume the DNR is quite familiar with the ratio, part of the reason we were there that day was because the DNR had cut short the hunt, because they were netting some of these same goats for relocation a few days later. I hope that means even better goat numbers are ahead. "The first shot, is worth all the rest"
