Hi crew,
Got back into bowhunting after a long break and managed to bag these two delicious goats in a NSW state forest over the weekend. Hopefully the first of many more to come.
Cheers,

Good to see you with a bow in hand again Tom. The meat from those two goats should be nice and tender. Roast goat in the camp oven mmmmmm.

Great to see a hunt report on here!
Good job Tom on those goats - they should cook up well.
Could you please tell us about your gear/setup.

Thanks Jeff. Feels good mate. The back legs from the smaller one were promptly limed, salted and peppered and cooked over coals that night on a makeshift spit.

Nice. I bet penetration wasn't an issue.

That's the foreleg of the bigger one completely severed from the arrow. Passed through and the goat ran 8 metres.
