Nice buck. I have a couple of friends that have packs goats but I don't think any of them hunt. I think you are very smart to put them to good use. :thumbsup

My back and feet won't put up with packing like I used to. As soon as I make some wool mantis for the panniers (the panniers are too noisy as they are), I'll start hunting with them as well.

That is a seriously well fed deer there...congrats!

My questions -- do you take the goats back to kill site after or what? Just curious as to how you do the procedure. Update us....we love stories and pics!!

In countries overseas it was normal for many goats to be used as pack animals and cart animals. Here in USA we are blessed with larger animals for that use & so not the norm for goats. Of course, in many countries sheep & goats have been used for milk, meat and transport for centuries. Donkeys are another animal that is often under utilized here.

So ----- tell us how you work this out. :caf
