"bagging a nanny"
Could this mean a hunter took a she mountain goat if that's even legal? Could it also mean a female feral goat was shot? Has any hunter here ever shot a cow of any species? Personally, for me, the next deer I take I want to be a doe.

I almost exclusively doe hunt now that I have a family to raise and less time to hunt. Bucks are targets of opportunity when they show up. Some years I take a couple bucks. But most years it's usually 3-6 doe though.
I don't care about antlers. Not to say I don't appreciate a nice buck, I do. Just not enough to devote time to it. This changes how I hunt. I focus almost totally on bedding and food areas and the travel routes between them. Whereas other guys might focus on rubs, scrapes and cruising bucks in the rut. I stay totally doe focused. |

Did you ever kill a deer of any sex? |

In the south it is common to call a doe a nanny. Not sure why but it is some sort of regional thing. As to the OP's comment on Mountain Goats those tags are generally either sex and you can take a billy or a nanny. Often a nanny will have longer horns but they tend to be thin and spindly.
I wont bother commenting on female feral goats because that should be common sense. As to me I nearly always target females so I have shot female mule deer, whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope, elk and bison |
:confused:
HUMM? Up here we have a special draw for Ewe sheep that is a separate hunt from Rams. Elk, we can shot 2 cows, 3 if you get a draw tag. Depending on the areas we can get several extra s. tags Separate Cow for Moose and antelope can be either sex or a dow tag. So I guess I'm not sure what you're asking??? |

Here is a doe-gutting video: I like this man's clean gutting method with the carcass hanging with no blood or mess. I would have jugs of water and a pail in the truck to flush the cavity and bags of ice to put in the cavity while the deer is driven to the processor. I'd let the processor do the rest. I think I would save the liver and heart to cook for my dogs. |

Most states that issue sheep tags have that. But goat tags tend to be either sex because it can be pretty hard telling a billy from a nanny at 300 yards across a canyon. It can be done if you have a good spotting scope and time to observe the animal. The take a different body posture when urinating and billies tend to be solitary while nannies are usually in a group. However I have a friend that spotted, watched, stalked and shot a lone goat with good horns but it was still a nanny.

But all hot air aside, do goat hunters (mountain or feral) really use the term NANNY even for a female of that species? |
