[QUOTE="DonnaCam, post: 551122, member: 36182"] Thanks for the advice, all. We ended up camping at the city park in Medicine Bow (restroom with running water + free) one night, and on BLM next night. Saw lots of goats. Had six spot and stalks, three successful stalks where we outsmarted them. Two of those stalks, daughter could not get situated quickly enough to take her shot, and one stalk was absolutely perfect, except we both missed. We were shooting downhill about -18 degrees at 250 yards. Had not practiced that shot. We followed what our rangefinder told us to do based on ballistics, but missed. We still were stoked because we had beat them at their game so badly, and correctly anticipated their movements. Daughter was frustrated because she missed, but now is determined to go back and do it better next time. Met an extremely nice game warden who was very encouraging, and will probably hunt in his unit next year, but unit 32 was great. Just sounded like WW III broke out at sunrise on Sunday with lots of gunfire and dirt flying on the roads. Our first stalk that we blew, we were stalking a group of about 25. We unexpectedly were caught exposed transitioning from one hill to another and the goats ran up the hill toward a ridge. On the ridgeline were three guys with guns. They harvested four goats in rapid succession.... We didn't even get a thanks for running them up the hill into their deadly sniper zone! We are hooked on goats now-what a rush! But now we want new rifles with bigger scopes and bipods, and did I mention a new F250 4x4? Our Nissan Pathfinder wheel base was not quite wide enough for the big boy dirt roads! But we would settle for oversize tires and a 3" lift! [/QUOTE]
