    I took this speedgoat at about 35 yards on Labor Day at 3:00 in the afternoon. He is 16" tall and will score in the upper 70's.
    I shot him near Douglas, Wyoming. First time to hunt antelope with a bow and likely wont be the last. Had a great time. Was by far the best antelope I saw for the trip. PICT0020.jpg PICT0028.jpg

    Congrats Fletch!

    I enjoyed my speedgoat experience immensely a couple years ago, and want to go back in a few years... but I'll be towing a travel trailer and seeking out public land and going solely on a DIY trip next time the way I do everything else.

    He's a nice goat!

    Nice job man! That's a heck of a goat. :tu:

    I believe next year I'll be making a return trip to Wyo for antelope/mule deer.

    Nice speed goat. Any goat taken with a bow is awesome especially when they are 16" or better.
