Where’s the pic ? 

It is out there, but is not mine to share.

If it's "out there" it's everyone's to share. Never understood that way of thinking. If it's been shared somewhere online then why are we scared to share it?

Hunter is from Show Low

I will be the dissenter here. I actually don’t think it’s that cool. To me the allure of a goat hunt is the experience of hunting them, where they live and all that goes with that.

Just finding one in the aspens / mule deer country and shooting it doesn’t seem like it would scratch that itch.

I don’t have anything against him killing it. It just isn’t the same as hunting and taking one in the mountains. And wouldn’t take the place of a true mt goat hunt for me.

That being said, it’s really cool to think about it being possible and the novelty of the idea. I’m glad someone was able to confirm their existence there. And seems like a decent coat on that goat, and it might even be a Billy.

As someone that has had the experience of hunting goats above treeline, I just want another one. They are cool animals. I think it is pretty cool to shot one in AZ, possibly the first ever??? That is pretty special IMO

Does this count for feral horses? Asking for a friend lol

That's too bad. I guess letting our one (or whatever small number) AZ mtn goat live was too much for some to handle.

I kind of wish the same thing. I'm just not sure there would ever be a huntable population.  I would love to hunt them again.

Certainly the first in the last 100 years or so, right?

I would assume, but yeah I have no idea. My Az goat history is zero.

This is awesome!

I did a quick google search and yes we have had mountain goats in AZ. Including the Grand Canyon.  haha

Reminds me of the trophy Tahr killed in New Mexico.
