Are they good to eat and what do you do with the hides?

I had a blast when I was there hunting feral goats with Top Predator.
bartsche, well the billys you just leave where they fall, they stink(they get the nick name "SMELLYS" for that reason). The younger nannys are good eating some say better than sheep (leaner meat) but the local indian community swear by them for curry, I have a chap who will buy them off me for $20 but that is skined and gutted, time & effort vs $, I dont sell too many of them.
As for hides every once and a while you do get a nice one, I have one getting done as we speak, light tan with a black strip up the back bone,it should be nice, out of the hunderds Ive shot its the only one Ive taken the skin off.
Fjold, Anit it a blast!! been out with TP my self in the past I think with three of us we shot close to 45 in a short amount of time.
The chap on the left in the photo told my wife it was the best fun he'd had with his clothes on for a long time.
This one was shot on that trip with TP
