Anyway a thought i would go for a hunt this morning. Set the alarm for 3am but just couldnt be assed getting out of bed. After doing some things i finally got out to my spot at 1.30pm. I was after some nice meat goats or a billy to beat me personal best, which isnt much.
I put on my gear, cocked the bow and went to head off. I took and step from the car and seen something just come around the corner. I thought it was a roo at first but then a realized it was 2 nannies and 2 twin baby goats as they came closer. The leading nanny came to about 40m and looked at the car and straight past me. She didnt seem to worried about it so kept coming towards me. I was watching the 2 babies thinking how tasty one would be.
The nanny got to about 15 and the kid to 20 or so metres. I decided then to put a slick trick through it. I watched it run down the hill. The nanny was of like a rocket. I then stood there for abit listning to the comotion when out comes another kid calling for his mum and coming right at me. I thought i musted have missed the first one so decided to shoot again. Abit of buck fever got to me and i put the arrow under his legs at about 15 metres. He started to walk of so i quickly sent another arrow flying and he screamed and took off.
Turns out they were 2 twins
They sure confused me at the time. Im not sure which on was which but i found the first one with a clean double lung hit at probably 30metres from where i shot and then followed the blood trail of the second one and found him laying on a trail maybe 50 or 60metres from the shot. The second one wasnt out yet so i quickly put another arrow through which got both lungs.
The double lung shot one will be a nice addition to xmas lunch. The second one the first arrow hit the front shoulder, one lung, through the guts and exited smashed the back leg. That one has gone to dog meat and some bait for the trail cam to try and get some pics of a pesky fox next door.
Usually i have to bust my ass in this spot for hours chasing goats. This was just extreme luck!
Heres the pics, quite crappy as i was by myself.
I've never ate goat but it must be good as it is popular the world over. Gary
