Utah Mountain Goat
Tops in Lower 48
In the fall of 2006, hunter Craig Rippen and outfitter Shawn Labrum
embarked on a pursuit for a record billy. They returned from that hunt
not only with the new state record Rocky Mountain goat, but they also
returned from the Boone & Crockett convention where Craig's goat was the
second largest in the recording period. Furthermore, they received the news
that this massive billy scoring 54 2/8 B&C is also the largest mountain goat
ever taken in the lower 48 states! We featured the story on Craig's hunt in
our March/April 2007 issue of Hunting Illustrated.
Outfitter Shawn Labrum has guided on many trophy big game
animals. You can see many of his great hunts on his two DVDs titled Wild
Mountain Mule Deer and Wild Mountain Big Horn Rams. You can order
them through our Video Vault on page 88.
