(P) Gary's Goat Quest and Big Kansas Buck

I have mentioned previously on this blog that I have a friend named Gary and hunt on one of his farms. After numerous years of putting in for a mountain goat tag, he finally drew a tag this year. Gary successfully harvested a nice billy a couple of weeks ago in Colorado with his recurve bow! That's right, he used a recurve bow. I learned that there are 10 big game species listed in the Colorado record books. If Gary can shoot a whitetail in Colorado this year, it will be the second time that he has harvested 9 of the 1o big game species in Colorado with his recurve bow. That is impressive to have 2 cycles with a recurve bow (this includes shooting two moose). Here is a picture of his billy. Gary told me he had to run down the mountain as soon as he shot it to catch the goat. The terrain was so steep that the goat would have rolled for 500 yards and may have been busted up by the time it reached the bottom. Congrats Gary and great job.
I also received word that a friend of one of my friends (got that?) shot a huge Kansas buck just north of Manhatten. I can't confirm this but I heard the buck green scored 212". Wow! Nice buck.
