Dad and I headed out the day before the season to set up the camper, meet landowners, and do some scouting. Though things started off slow, Thursday afternoon we eventually found some goats and even a few decent ones though I was unable, or even forgot, to take pictures of them all.

Here are a few of the critters we spotted that first day:

By evening we had several decent goats picked out and were trying to decide which one to go after first. We finally decided on the pick-of-the-day but given season didn't open until noon we decided to do a bit more scouting. As it turned out our first pick had moved a mile and was now a few hundred yards behind a ranch house. Though the land wasn't posted we decided to see what else we could locate as we weren't comfortable hunting that close to someone's house.

We found several other good bucks including these:
