It's not what tool you use to hunt with.
It's that you use the tool Legally and Ethically

Jerry back 15 years ago there used to be herds of 500 to a 1000 at a time in some places but there is a big export market now for them now with the arab countrys an to taiwan ,they will never get rid of them they breed to fast for that, they are worth $35 a head to the station owners.

Wow Bernie that is so cool. a couple a ol goats! JUST KIDDIN!

I like the detail about how the fletching WAS white. I've never killed anything with my bow (modern or primitive) but my fletching is tipped with red (was white).

Chances are I'm probably the only one here who's feathers have lipstick on them hahahaha. when I draw my arrow back and "lock" it to the corner of my mouth it tends to run across the edge of my lip when I release.

Zan who wears lipstick even when she's shootin....

The terrain there looks pretty bleak and forbidding.  Was that where you shot the goat?  Were you concealed?
