[Bowmancam]

Goulburn goat mate, and if i'm fortunate enough to have a go at the 'bowmerang' thats were i'll be heading :wink:

Cheers, Cam

[outback preditor]

max i like the photo of the goat on top of the mountain, not because of the senery but the way the goat positioned. he looks like an old scruffy boar.

[outback preditor]

heres a few stinkers. only one of these was shot at a tank. the rest were from many miles of spot and stalk. i was once young and fit and probably keener than adam. if thats possible.

Before cobar was milked of quality goats mate :wink: good heads Pedro

[macka]

WOW!!!!!!!! How many of them went the magic 40" ??
Gr8 goats mate.

Macka :wink:

[outback preditor]

cobar never has had that many goodins. i shot heaps of 30-35s but had to do a bit of travelling to get the 40s. there only one in that lot that came from cobar and it the same one i got on the tank and took two days to get him once i knew he was there. less than 20 kms out of town.
those goats come from nomans land on well planned two week hunts on motorbikes with the bare essentials and drinking swamp water. its a wonder we never got liver fluke, or mabee i have.

[macka]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v716/pedrolever/nanntkiller.jpg

[HOOD]

Pedro that nanny would put a lot of billies to shame i think. :shock:

[macka]

OMG is that seriously a nanny??? Its Bigger than any billy i have ever shot!

Macka :wink:

[outback preditor]

sure is macka. notice no chips on the fighting edge. a perfect set. because nannies dont rut. it was a bearer too. it went 139 4/8 with a 44 spread, just missing the aussie record by 2/8 when it was held by bulger.

[adam]

****o with a freak nanny, great stuff pedro have been looking at that pic for some time now.

[woodstoka]

yer that nannys hudge were did yas get that

nice goat mate

[interceptor]

Nice work Kim,

They do shoot sweet don't they.

Cheers Noel

[PeterM]

Yeah thats a good photo! :)

Pity the Billies stink so much as they really do have some excellent skins on the some times. :?

See ya Pete.

[Axe]

Taken today -

PeterM- here I am :)

[HOOD]

Where Axe I can't see ya :lol: :wink:

[adam]

Excellent picture boss, are you using face paint or soot from the bush.

Adam

[PeterM]

Hell yeah! 8)

Now thats even better mate! Top shot and top photo!

See ya Pete.

[Axe]

Excellent picture boss, are you using face paint or soot from the bush.

Adam

That's face paint, not keen on hoods, veils, generally don't use anything, just that this same fella had beat me 4 times previously. Probably didn't need it but... :D

[Barry]

Mate you just jumped out from behind that tree and scared the poor goat ta death didnt you :lol: :lol:

Think I would have keeled over too :shock: :shock:

Face paint certainly takes the shine off and damn I love that ASAT. Been wearing the ASAT hood but it annoys the crap outta me.... might try the scary make up too 8)

[adam]

I also prefer not wearing a hood, but will put it on if I see an animal or do the same as you Axe, gets me super keen wearing face paint or charcole.

Adam

Well done on getting that educated animal.

[Axe]

Ugly may be one reason :o
Ya see Coach the idea is to stop the ultra violet aura / shine that comes from humans skin, my face therefore needs concealing.

Now if I was able to approach the game facing away, you would think I wouldn't need the paint , however, I would still have a dilemma for two reasons, they being, the fact that I don't have eyes in the back of my head but more importantly the sun shines outta my A*se :lol:

[inthegreen]

thats a nice billy you got there axe.thats some pretty good camo too..well done

[woodstoka]

any of u guys no were ther are som goats in vic

[barebow]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/LukeGriffin/Bigbillyoverrock4web.jpg

[PeterM]

Funny how some animals go to some strange places to die, never seen one climb on top a rock like that before! :roll:

Oh but now I see, Adam said once before about rock goats so this meant his guy never had a chance sitting on the biggest one in the paddock huh? :lol:

Well done mate!

See ya Pete.

[Sparra]

:lol: :lol: :lol: I was gonna say something along those lines!!!

[Luke]

Wow, must have had a growth spurt since then as my supertec is a 29 inch draw....oh hang on, so is my York that I bought when I was 15!

[macka]

[Gavin]

Thanks for the feedback guy's.

Happy Bowhunting

[Dale Furze]

Here is a photo of my mate Killer (Anthony Clarkson) Same sort of subject and subject matter as I used for the cover of the very last Australian Bowhunter magazine. The Billy scores 125d.p. which is Anthonys best.
Hope the picture works out, I'm trying to get over my computer illitericy problems.http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/DAZOOL/2004_0530Image0040.jpg

[adam]

Dale that is an excellent picture of Killa Clarkson, tell him I said hi.

The photo is pretty huge, at the host where the picture is stored on the net edit it to be a little smaller and it will change it here without you having to edit this post. Just a tip.

Adam

[chris]

That is a nice photo.

[Luke]

Hey Macka,
some nice billies there mate...esp that second, one, what a beautiful pelt...and the view! :shock:

Luke :D

[Dale Furze]

Here's my best scoring Billy- 119 6/8 D.P. According to Dave Whiting there are two goals in goat hunting, to get a 40 inch spread, and have a Billy that scores over 120 D.P.
I have accomplished one of them!
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/DAZOOL/2004_0703Image0015_1.jpg

[FentonW]

A couple of Billy's taken in the first couple of days of new year
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/FentonW/DSCF1088.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/FentonW/DSCF1084.jpg
Cheers, Fenton.

[adam]

That second one is skitzo fenton, what did he score, quess 111dp. Anyone else up for a guess.

Adam

great photos too mate

[FentonW]

Adam, he is a strange one. Beforte you fellas want to start guessing I will give you a little help, his spread is only 25" on the dot. My brother also got his first Billy Goat, the lucky bugger it went 114 on the dot. To say he was wrapped is an understatement, will get a photo of it as well to put up. I will tell you what the curly fella went tomorrow, just incase anyone else wants to have a guess :D .
Cheers, Fenton.

[macka]

well my guess would have to be about 100 thats a mad set mate well done.

Macka

[adam]

Im changing my guess to 98dp and when I find out the score ill change my guess again, What its my game Ill change it when it pleases me :wink:

[PeterM]

Yeah that second is a doozy!

I say 110 to 112 DP.

[aussiehunter]

nice goats,,,the 2nd is mad..cheers pat

[Dale Furze]

I'd reckon about, around, near enough, just about, rough enough, spot on 106 D.P. Nice pics.

[Sparra]

I'd guess about 114 on the dot... :lol: :lol:

[jindydiver]

It sure is a classic :D
No idea at all what it would score

[barebow]

I reckon the funny horned goat would be near 95dp.When you tell us mate tell us all the different measurements please.Would like to see if I am close with any of my guesstemate.

[maxy]

I'm generally ****house with guessing the score of goats, but i'd say about 94 DP

Maxy

[Memo]

91 DP. Sure is some crazy curl.
Great photos too

[FentonW]

Righto fellas here are the measurements for him,
Spread- 25 25
Left Fighting edge- 33 4/8 Right Fighting edge 32 5/8, 64 10/8
Left Girth- 7 Right Girth 7, 7
Total, 104 2/8

He is the first I have measured (Have measured a few over the years to) that has gone T.C with a spread under 28". My brothers R.C had Fighting edge measurements of 31 7/8 and 32 2/8, just to show he has a hell of a lot of curl for such a small amount of spread. The best part is we saw his brother (Looked identical) that looked to be a bit wider, even has the horns overlapping like him. Can't wait to get out the again.
Cheers, Fenton.

[adam]

yep 104 2/8 like I said :wink:

Good goat, can we see a picture of your brothers goat mate.

Adam

[FentonW]

Adam,
I will put it up tomorrow evening. I am so sorry we didn't take any salt with us this trip, he would have made a magic head mount. We had very little room for gear so kept stuff to the bare esenttials. Just means we have another excuse to go out that way again :o .
Cheers, Fenton.

[Luke]

Great stuff Fenton!

Pass on a huge congrats to Mark for me on his first Billy!

Luke ;)

[FentonW]

Here's Marks Goat, proud as punch he is still.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/FentonW/Recordclassgoat.jpg
Next thing is Rusa in a week or too, I think this year may be a goonun.
Cheers, Fenton.

[adam]

Nice goat mark, congrats

[FentonW]

He used a Reflex Timberwolf with Carbon Express shafts with Blackstump Broadheads. He used it quite successfully on some boars he smacked out there as well. Thanks to Steely, he had is sorted out so it will shoot any broadhead of similair weight like a laser.
Cheers, Fenton.

[barebow]

That is a good goat,congratulations. :wink:

[jlw712]

Thanks Macka. Your day will come by too. Keep a good lookout.

Jo

[Owen]

macka, in the area i live in the goats are fairly hard to get on to because they are
hunted pretty hard by riffle shootes that shoot anything and everything they see, there was a really good spot i know of that was relitively untouched but a bushfire recently went through there

[Puk]

Jo,
Serious question.
I have always had a soft spot for red hair :wink: , but do you have to hide it when you hunt?
It wouldn't give you away, would it?

Puk 8)

[jlw712]

No Puk, it doesnt seem to give me away. Though there are times I have wondered.

Jo

[aussiehunter]

jo u should leave it out,be just like wearing the safty blaze orange ,so some mad rifle shooter doesnt mistake ya.. :D

[saberhunter]

i luv all the pics but the big billy is a stand out :!: are u getting him taxidermied :?:

cheers, timdegrey :wink:

[adam]

Awesome stuff macka, that top billy is a good head, congrats.

Get any video of your hunt, I enjoyed watching the last lot.

[macka]

Hey thanks for the comments yeah he really puts all my other heads to shame.

Tim i diddnt get time to cape him out and i saw bigger heads there while out working so nect time i hope to go up in the summer time and steak out a dam so i can get stuck into the really big fella's and maybe a few more pigs.

Adam Because i was by myself i diddnt get much footage at all really the one day i did take it was when i shot that big fella and i had the camera on him as he was walking towards me. Had it set up perfectly on him from 20m and i got buck fever and shot over him twice on camera :oops: I pulled it together though with a 5m shot as he was running past me.

Macka

[Puk]

Hi all.
This is my first billy.
I got him this week in central S.A. (just got back tonight)

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/Jpukallus/Glendambo024_1.jpg

Spread = 47 inches.
Girth right: 9 and a half.
Left : 9 and a quarter = 18.5

Fighting edges: Right 40
Left 41 and a half =80

Is that how you measure it? Double the smaller of the girth and fighting edge measurements?

If so it adds up to 145 and a half points.
Not bad for a first effort. One shot, 20 metres, shot too high and forward, i think it spine shot him, because it only went 2 or three inches into his neck and he dropped like a rock, never made a sound, and was dead in minutes. A lucky shot rather than a good one. :oops: Damn bow wouldn't stop shaking :shock:

Puk

Puk mate, Congratulations! That is 1 very very good Billy, great work. I 'll bet you still haven't come down after nailing that fella. Yeh mate thats how you measure him! scott

Puk

Yes as Scott has said that is the right way to measure them, and 145 is a bow hunter dream that many will never obtain a goat of that size one AWESOME BILLY, congratulations would be only one of half a dozen bow hunters in the country to shoot and goat over 140 DP! Again absolutely awesome mate, beginners luck huh! :D

[maxy]

Holy crap puk, you found the grandaddy of all goats there mate, he's a ripper. Congrats, it must have been beginners luck!!

Any other good billies with him?

Well done

Maxy

[Puk]

Yeh Maxy, one had horns shaped like a Longhorn steer. I want him next year.


Puk

[Paul R]

47 inches! Wow :shock:

Fantastic billy Puk. :D

[aussiehunter]

puk are u a member of aba?

[Willy_R]

Top billy Puk ! could be number 2 in the ABA rakings if scored right ! :shock:

Willy_R 8)

[Puk]

Here is another shot of the big fella.
It was edited to remove the tongue that i didn't realise was hanging out. I didn't notice his mouth 'cos i couldn't stop looking at his horns!
Remember, that's a 32 inch arrow, with a one-inch broadhead at the end of it. That gives you a little of the idea of the length.

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/Jpukallus/arrowbilly.jpg


Puk

[Piggy]

PUK what can we say! Top billy there not bad for your first goat :D

[aussiehunter]

mate,bloody cracker,cant stop looking at him

great curls...

pat :D

[Spider]

Mate what a cracker, congrats. Not fair, I think some one looking out for you :wink:

[Puk]

Mate what a cracker, congrats. Not fair, I think some one looking out for you

LOL :lol: :lol:
It doesn't work that way mate.
Actually,i never thought of it. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask....
:wink:
Puk

[Clinglish]

They don't get that size by being dumb , so that's an awesome effort just to get within bow range. Well Done :wink:

[Puk]

Sorry all,
I was a little off in my measuring.
The official measurement for my billy as done by PeterM and Mark Southwell for TT is:

Spread =47 3/8
Curl L R
42 2/8 40 5/8 =81 2/8
Bases 8 6/8 9 =17 4/8

Total =146 1/8 DP

I am informed that this is to the knowledge of the panel the fourth biggest goat ever taken by anyone with a bow and arrow in Australia from any organisation.

Puk

[aussiehunter]

still a very respectable goat . :)

and i sure u r very proud

i dont know if it has been asked before

puk are u having him mounted?

did u mange to take his cape ?


pat :)

[jindydiver]

You must be pretty happy with that hey?
Going to be a hard ask to top him now :D

[Puk]

Yeah, i have some work to do on goats now, don't i?
No Pat, i don't knowhow to cape an animal, i was hoping to learn how before i got to something like this. I had a folding saw and took part of the skull with the horns still embedded. I didn't know how to get them measured officially as there is no-one around here to do it, so i wrapped them in a lot of plastic pallet-wrap, black garbage bags and packing tape and posted them to PeterM in Canberra to measure.

when he posts them back i will boil them right out and then mount them on a wooden backing, with a bit of a plaque made up with his size, the date, and underneath i will put the arrow that took him. I have a framed photo of him to put on my wall also, and am hoping to be able to add the TT "goat of the year award" if i win it, at the end of the year.

Now there is a lot of room left on my wall for pig tusks, fox skins and deer antlers. Time to get hunting!
Puk

[aussiehunter]

u can always take a similar goat and take the cape and they can mount it,if that intrests u..

just ask peterm he can explain how to take a cape easy enough...

either ways ,its all good..

pat :)

[XTfreak]

I know have a decent best three, after a decade of trying my best goats have come in a little over three months. Goes to show it is as important to keep unlocking new places to hunt as it is to refine your shooting and hunting technique (if not alot more).

[baconbuster007]

hey they're some nice goats ya got there fellas, do you get hogs where ya get the goats as well?

[hunt or be hunted]

no hogs where i hunt goats mate, although over the years the odd pig has been spotted out there.

dan.

[baconbuster007]

ahh ok, would like to get too hunt some goats in the near future. but i'm in the process of sweet talking my uncle into introducing me to his mate that has a property in near charters towers with chital on it, and he also knows a fella near ravenswood i think it is...... haha so maybe after i get my first deer i'll give the stinka's a run for their money.

[hunt or be hunted]

sounds good mate. theres a ravenswood 20mins from my house. where abouts is the one your talking about?

dan.

[baconbuster007]

north/central qld mate 89km east of charters towers, 1459km northwest of brisbane to be exact. I'm living in a hole for hunting at the moment with only the odd few hogs in the cane and scrub that we know of, oh and the odd fox and cat. Can't wait till the dry season it's off to the station up north for some serious hog and scrubba hunting.

[hunt or be hunted]

sweet as mate. sounds like you will have fun once the dry gets there.dan.
