Hey Mitch here :wink:

Well went for another hunt today, My bro's on school holidays so he taged along to with the cam in hand. Well I was talking to dad last night after dinner about the hunt I went on yesterday, Being the manager of the property we live on he know's the country really well so i decided to ask him if he knew of any good spots where goats are. Well he told me of another spot where he's saw goats befor while mustering sheep. Anyway my brother knows the property really well also because he tags along with dad quiet often, so i convinced him to come along to. well it was quite a long ride on the quad to get to this place ( which I've never been before ) and it took us about 30 min to get there, well almost there anyway, we where riding along and i saw some goats on the track up ahead so i said to my brother woo woo, and he pulled to a stop. i pointed the goats out to him and he realised why i jabbed him in the ribs so hard. I stood up on the back of the bike and pulled out the bino's and had a look, well they where mostly nanny's with kids and i was hopeing for something a little better, just then ii saw these two goats walking towards us down the track and i could see that they were'nt nanny's because they were a much bigger build, I took a look at them trough the bino's and could hardly beleave my eye's ( I almost droped the bino's ) these two big billies walking towards us with the biggest racks on them that ive seen in the property ( I guess they've had a long time to grow because we where in a very isolated area ). well a pulled mat ( my bro ) aside and told him to follow me, We made our way down the track a bit more into some scrub for cover and again pulled out the bino's to have another look, also the camera to take a few picky's.

( Its the one on the left I got, the one on the right was bigger but his right horn was broken, shame. )
Well we sat there for about 10 min just observing them and trying to work out what I should do. There was only grass and a few small clums of grass between us and the goats so i was woundering weather to crawl slowly and quietly throught the grass and take a shot or wait till they made ther way to some scrub, well i decided to take a risk and do the cawl. Well the paitients* sure payed off because after about 45 min of stalking i took a shot and was soon sitting behind him for a photo. ( which I got plenty of just in case :wink: ) Well enough bable here's the best photo. ENJOY :lol:
