Successful pau hana, after work hunt. After the goats outsmarted us at 2 other locations Zai spotted a nanny up high starting to go down. For some reason she turned around and headed back up towards the grass. I was patient and waited till she was inside of 100 yards and took the shot at 71 yards. Another small nanny but the meat was really soft. Fun times as always with babe. Checked in at 4:30pm and was out of there with meat in the bag before the sun set. This unit is open for daily hunting with muzzleloaders in January and June only. Permit hunt, no tags required. Daily bag limit is 2 goats, either sex and 1 pig, either sex per hunter. Public land.
