Here's my billy, taken at 13,800 feet in elevation on Mt Huron in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area:





My point is this is probably a once in a lifetime hunt for anyone and taking a nanny on the opening morning doesn't make much sense, especially in an area that is known for really good goat hunting. But to each his/her own since it is their tag. If the OP is happy with the animal then I'm happy for him/her but I think they jumped the gun if they took a nanny that early in a hunt they can probably never do again.
