[QUOTE="Paparock, post: 1265857, member: 106235"] I'm not up on what it takes to make the "book" now but it takes length and mass I know. I took a "speed goat" to meat processor in Casper, Wyoming back in the mid1980s. I knew he had great mass but he was short in my estimation. I was bummed at the time because I had shot over the back of a massive one because I miss judged the range of that I believe was well over 16" and had massive prongs. I had for the first time changed how I sighted in my rifle and had it sighted in for 3" high at 100 yards. If I had held right where I wanted to hit him I would have killed him but old habits kicked in and I held over so I shot over his back. I know his head is around my home somewhere but we have not fully unpacked since getting to CA. My friend worked at the meat processing place and he freaked when he saw the "goats horns" and kept bugging me about getting them scored. After about six months of him bugging me I finally took them down to a taxidermy in Casper and asked the owner [U]at his convenience[/U] to score them but not to rush as Did think they would rank but I was doing it to satisfy a friend. I don't remember how many weeks later he called me to come down but I was surprised when he said they missed the book minimum by a I think it was 2 or 3 points. If I could find the skull it has the score marked on it. Anyway, I have always hunted for "hunters for the hungry" but then I would not turn down a trophy if it came my way. I am not against trophy hunting it is just that I have not had the time, money, or opportunity to really do it. [/QUOTE]
