- Kregg Thomassen tackles the Cowboy state in his year of plenty. He's drawn multiple impossible to get tags including this once in a lifetime Wyoming Mountain Goat tag. Mike Davidson is along to call wind and help spot in some of the roughest canyons in Wyoming. An epic shot is mandatory!

Most people have zero clue how tough a shot that is across a terrain feature like that. The first shot was a hit but not a 'good' hit. The second sealed the deal thank you very much Mr. Spotter. Well done lads.
I absolutely love watching you guys hunt, knowing y’all are top of the line shooters with bookoos of knowledge lays to rest any ethical dilemmas before a long range shot. It’s like watching Zeus play darts with a lightning bolt
I made the same distant shots today at a target getting a 4" group at 500m, but with a much cheaper setup. lol
Aaron good for you, these are 1,400 yard guns out of the box. Not many guns can say they can do that. So if you have a shooter hang onto it.
@@moneyandtimefreedom3352 Many sub $2000 rifles will shoot 1,400 yards with the right glass and cartridge (some need minor stock or trigger work). What it comes down to is the shooter and how often they shoot long range in all weather conditions. Whats more important than the rifle, is accurately applying weather and distance corrections to your scope. If you can't do that every time then you will inevitably miss on your first shot, which is just as easy to do with their $8k rifles. I'd rather use some of the money I saved and get a good range finder, wind meter, gps, and ballistic app.
@@joshuabarney6196 What does this have to do with my comment?
Aaron sorry this was supposed to be posted to the general line not in realatiom to your post my bad.
I felt like I was going to fall over the edge and I’m sitting on my couch!
Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can stream all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother lately xD
@Ameer Joziah definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)
When I worked for Colorado Outward Bound, goats would walk into our camp and eat our piss spots. Never thought of them as worthy game after that.
What a cracking shot! Well done!
The first shot was so obviously way behind the shoulder and behind/high to the vitals. Second shot was much better, but if you’re going to do distance hunting, be good enough to hit it the first time. It could have disappeared and you’d never recover it after a first crap shot like that
That 'stay' moment was entirely too tense. Holy cow.
Good shooting!
I have noticed the 175eldx even tho you hit the animal good they still run and dnt drop found the amax was better dropping power...great shooting thanks for sharing
Nice recovery. Real work starts after trigger pull. Congrats
trigger squeeze
Awesome billy and hunt Kregg!
My first goat died in easy terrain, relative to goat country anyway. My second though was in very steep snow covered scree, was hoping he would slide down the mountain because I feared climbing up to where he stood. Oh he slid down alright, and over a cliff, landed hard busting up his jaw and a big gash in the hump of his back, but lucky his horns came through with only scratches. An animal like this deserves a full body mount, to me a well furred billy is awesome.
“Buh Buh Buh Buh Billy” 😂👍
great hunt
Yanked that first shot. Congrats.
What canyon is that? It’s beautiful
Crazy how I lived in Wyoming for a summer for baseball and never knew yall are based in wyo.
Please tel us more about rifle, rounds ballistics and so on.it is nice to watch hunting videos but it would be more interesting to know more about the rifle used.
My phone is small so it’s hard to see but I think it’s a 7mm.
7mm would be perfect.. high BC for long range energy retention
Love the people from the K-Z
what was the caliber of the bullet 7mm PRC or is it bigger or what is actual bullet it self? .284? or larger like the 300prc
just curious is all
What caliber of rifle are you using in this video?
It’s a 7mm LRM
@@Dave-cf2ng LRM?
@@jonnybgoode7742 it stands for long rang magnum. It’s their own cartridge, pretty much a 300 prc necked to 7mm with some neck adjustments
@@Dave-cf2ng sounds nice.
Wawwww 👍👍👍
Bullet looks like the ELD-X or ELD-M...are they coming out with a different bullet or is this an older video?
Give me my money - Wells Fargo
Are those Billy's edible?
What rear bag do you use guys?
What rear bag is he running at the range?
What caliber
If he goes over the cliff can you shoot another one?
Great video
Absolutely not
Nope, You have to go retrieve it. A lot of times shots are passed because if they do fall you may never retrieve it and if you do the meat is no good and the horns all busted up. This is a once in a lifetime tag takes years to even get drawn so choose your shot wisely.
Suppose you leave them there for the wolves.
Well those shots were terrible and a hunter needs to know when to fold em and wait or get closer both shots were poor. And did not dispatch the animal quickly or humanely. Lots of hubris in the world of shooting these days. But all food in the name of likes and clicks I guess.
It was a good shot...not great but good...
To shoot an animal like that, being so close to a massive cliff... is just terrible judgement... if that animal fell to the bottom, or you weren't able to recover it... absolute shame
I was thinking the same thing. I would feel like crap if I shot one and then it suffered for a few minutes then fell off the edge while still alive and dying that way. Glad this didn't end like that though.
@@lespaulplayer1234512 it didn't have an 'easy death' though
What distance was the shot taken at ?
525
To shoot an animal that close to the edge of a cliff, where it potentially could have fallen and become unrecoverable with those piss poor shot. Looks like you should stop buying rifles, and start shooting moving targets at a range.
Why shoot the poor animal more than one, purely because you want to be cool and tell the world I killed something at 1000 yards, no dude, stop that. Shoot at a respectable distance and be done.
Poor hunting ethics . Goes to show that long range isn’t the best practice learn to stalk and by the looks of it learn to shoot
Clay Buster who gets to decide what is long distance? For some 200 yards is a long shot. These guys train and shoot distances much further than this. They also know exactly what the wind and yardage is as well as the foot pounds of energy. Distance is arbitrary so just because your not comfortable with the shot doesn’t mean you get to control what others can or cannot do. The shot they took dispatched the animal it was hit perfectly in the vitals and died quickly.
Distance is not at all arbitrary. Bullets have travel time. Animals are not stationary targets that won't move within the time it takes to choose to squeeze, squeeze and deliver a KILL shot. LR hunting is ego driven laziness.
@@ScottGostick i agree in someways
Moneyandtime Freedom I shoot 1200yds on steel targets no problem but I hunt and long range shooting isn’t hunting it’s just target practice with live quarry the biggest part of any hunt is the stalk
Long range and you can’t even say what caliber your using. Unsubscribe.
I know the feeling of watching goats die on the edge of a cliff. The one that I have killed actually dove off a cliff in Alaska. Never recovered it and am waiting to return to try again some day.
Sounds like you f***ed up there, you can't be shooting sheep and goats in places that you cant recover them... if theres a chance they could take 5 steps after you land a shot and they'd be falling down a cliff, thats just terrible judgement... if they fall to the bottom and get all smashed up, thats a waste, and if they fall and get hung up out of reach, thats just aweful... so you turned a goat into buzzard food at best
