Several years ago we had a family lease south of Sonora. It had some nice deer and it butted up to the old Dolan Creek Ranch so we had a few exotics around. The occasional Corsican Ram Sika deer and Aoudad could be seen. The place was covered with Angora goats.
My brother in law came down to hunt opening weekend. We sat around the campfire the evening before talking about the game we had seen on scouting trips. The next morning I drop him off at a stand on the side of a hill overlooking a canyon and head to my spot. When my hunt was over I drove back and he was sitting on the side of the road. He met me at my window and says he shot something.
I asked him how big it was. He says "well...whats a corsican ram look like?". I described one to him.
He says "whats am aoudad like like?" I described one of those too.
He then squints a little bit and says " whats an angora goat look like?" So I described an angora goat to him.
He then says "well...I think I shot an angora goat."
We went and looked and sure enough he had shot the biggest Boone and Crockett world record angora goat I had ever seen.
When he shot the big one the rest of the goats came over the hill and just kind of kept milling around so he figured something was amiss.
We let it lay and went to find the ranch manager. He was laughing so hard when I told him the story he told us not to worry about it.
