Pack goat hunting

[Sassquatch]

Pack goats are great if you go where horses can't go. I go to a place where my horses just can't get into, and I've found if horses can't get there either can the people. I hunted the high hunt last year in a popular wilderness and never saw another person, but I did see some deer and elk, and killed a nice little buck. I don't mind going goat speed if I don't see any people.

I have heard if you have them it gives you a free pass to take any and all trail cameras you find in the woods.

Sounds like there is more to tell!  You know a camera thief?

Old thread here from a while back. Can't recall the guy's handle that started the thread. Essentially the guy was advocating for stealing people's cameras that he found on public land because they were on public land. I think the guy also had pack goats. Can't remember the exact details.

Yep that was it.  I can't remember the specifics either.

If I was doing this type of hunting I would think that the pack goat thing would be the way to go.  A couple of them could really help with the weight.

Plus you can drink their milk and then eat em if need be.

The area I hunt on the high hunt, horses only can get you 1/4 of the way in. Goats would be the way to go. I see a few in my near future.

From what I have read, you can only use fixed males.  Unfixed males are too unpredictable and the packs would rub against the utters..

Additionally goats have a inclination to head button. A friend that has pack goats said not to touch thier heads and it works best if they are raised by you so you become thier natural herd leader.

Are they cool I asked my buddy? Yes they will get you a long way back. It may be slower than you plan, & if you have never heard the term "goat roping session" you will live the definition.

I think they would be like any kind of stock. If they are used a couple weeks of the year they aren't worth it if your gona use them a lot they they may be worth the time investment... I don't think stock.counts as bait so perhaps they would work great calling predators  like bear cats and coyotes.
