[QUOTE="Rhino Hunter, post: 2054079, member: 25461"] Many years ago I was luck enough to draw a WY NR Mountain Goat tag back when they only gave out four per year. I had heard that Mountain Goats where known for taking a "suicide dive" in an effort to get away after being shot. I spotted a nice billy from above standing broadside about 200 yards away. I aimed hoping to take out both front shoulders. I hit where I aimed, he dropped right there, and slid about 20' downhill before coming to a stop about 8' before going off a huge cliff. We literally tied him down before proceeding with field dressing. Had he went off the cliff we could still have recovered him, but he would have been beat to hell and it would taken the better part of a day to get to him. I used a .300 Win Mag with 180 grain Nosler Partitions, and I was glad I did. [/QUOTE]
