Welcome to the Huntback Country podcast. This is episode number 516. And our guests, Ben and Lily, are listeners of the show who had

an amazing story to share from a once-in-a-lifetime mountain goat hunt in Idaho.

Lily was the hunter, and she ended up taking a record book, Billy.

Ben had also previously had this tag, and so we talk

about his hunt a little bit, how they used that information to help Lily with her hunt, but it

actually ended up being a different plan in a different area and an unexpected hunt in some ways.

But the results were amazing.

As I said, Lily was able to harvest a record book, Billy, which ended up scoring 50 and 6-8s.

So for Boone and Crockett, it's the 10th largest goat ever taken in Idaho, which is absolutely

amazing. I always love fun listener stories. I love mountain goats. I enjoy sharing the

female perspective with hunting. And so this is just an absolute great podcast. If you have

any questions for us, or maybe you have a listener's story,

let us know. Send an email to podcast at exoomountaingear.com as draw results on hunt plans

are coming out for 2025. Maybe let us know if you have something interesting to share

for future before and after the hunt episode,

as we will do more of those this year. Right now, though, enjoy this conversation with Ben and

Lily.

All right, well, Ben, Lily, welcome to the podcast.

I'm really excited to chat with you guys.

I just absolutely love mountain goats.

So any mountain goat story is always fun.

We always also get great feedback on anytime we can include more women on the podcast as well, because
