The above link will download a pdf to your computer for the digital version of a goat sex identification quiz that Fish and Game just recently produced. Since we recently had a lot of interest in this topic, I figured many would like to look through this to practice their skills before heading afield this coming fall.

Also available on paper at many ADF&G offices. I've got the newsprint version kicking around the living room...

Talked with ADF&G before I submitted my proposal. At this time they mentioned that they were working on a poster that would assist hunters, but when I mentioned that Utah has a test online they mentioned it would cost too much and it wasn't needed?

Glad to see they changed there mind.

Great post

Thanks for the post. I feel pretty good about that test. I only missed 1. Its great that game and fish finally came up with something else besides the poster. I would like to see something like montana's griz/black bear test though. You have to take the test and pass to get the certificate to hunt. Hillbilly

I missed a couple of the juvenile animals and one where the pic was fairly fuzzy. I wouldn't have pulled the trigger on any of those, though, so I felt pretty good about it. Even better, my wife got all of them but one, and she's the one with the permit this year!

i wanna know

i wanna know if the goat in question number 9 is still around and where exactly he is, thats a huge billy

[LuJon]

I missed more than a couple but like Brian I wouldn't have shot any of the ones I missed.

[cusackla]

Same here

I did not read any of the material, scrolled through and answered very quickly. Missed 2, but I would not have considered any of the goats I missed.

Great Post

I sent a couple of pictures into the email address listed in the quiz and got a quick response from Kristen. She is going to use some of the pictures I sent her in the next edition. Sounds like she is looking for more.

Good Reference

Thanks, Brian. That was a good test. I'll have to keep it in mind prior to the August opening date. Appreciate the information.

This is great. I'll take a copy of this with me to look at before we head out on the hunt. Every little bit helps & I even taught my wife & thing or two lastnight about goats (like I'm the expert)...we enjoyed looking at it together.

Thanks for sharing!

That was fun

And informative. I missed a bunch, but that's ok. I figure most I could not have shot with a bow anyway. They sure are pretty animals, and some gorgeous country to boot.
Now If I could just get on top of the mountain as easy as it was in the test!

Cool!

I gotta say, that was pretty cool. I could see where that would help alot of people out.
