Stringcutter,
Goats are social animals and you have to get at least 2...One goat doesn't do good alone...
Here is a link where you can order a book that will help you along..Thats how I did it...
http://www.hoeggergoatsupply.com/packing.html Wow Brett, I live at 490 feet elev. and hunt up to 4000...I have no idea except to get them in good shape...
Sometimes I leave the goats in camp using a highline...Sometimes I take them with me...I have a leash in each of their packs so I can tie them if I decide to...Like working a bull or something...I know That Bob killed the bull in his photo with the goats right with him...Called him in..
I camped for a week in the Blues and just made a little tarp leanto for the goats to get in..It was getting down to about 15 at night and they suffered no ill effects...I know that in the morning as soon as the fire got built they would climb out of the tarp and stand by the fire with the rest of us ...I watched their hair curl up while they soaked up the heat...LOL
Like I said,hunting companions, not beasts of burden..
Here is Petey helping me look for spring bear..
