Billy

 

This is Billy…the billy goat.  Andrew’s been watching him all summer.  He’d wake up at 4 am to get to the right spot on the mountain just after sunrise to watch Billy and make sure he was in the same spot.  I have countless pictures and videos of this goat from all summer.  I’d come home after work everyday and he’d have some new pictures of video of Billy for me….I was starting to get attached haha.

On the morning of September 18th, Andrew and his hunting posse were up above Silver Lake Flat…and this is what happened to Billy.

Needless to say…..Billy is now dead and is hanging up in Andrew’s parents shed.  Andrew was so excited to get his goat though and he definitely deserved it after all the time he put into scouting for this particular goat.  They estimated him to weigh around 300 pounds and his horns are around 9 inches long!  It’s definitely a mature billy, around 8-9 years old!   His friend Vince said he got a Polar Bear not a goat. 

Thanks for the help from Andrew’s brother Nathan, his Dad, and his friends Eric, Justin, and Vince.  He really appreciated all your help!!

Bye Billy….
