[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 563466, member: 27192"] I brought up the bear meat and skin example because there has been some question here on the forum in the past as to how the goats would react to being that close to the odor of a known predator. For my goats this was not their first 'rodeo' in packing meat, and do it multiple times a year, but I wanted to show the contrast between the goats capabilities and some other types of pack animals that may have had more of an issue with hauling out a stinky bear. BTW, the packgoatforum, yahoo group, John Myozinski's book, and a number of other resources have been cited earlier in this thread for anyone that is interested, but im sure anyone interested in getting more information welcomes the reminder. But this forum is more dedicated to the useage of packgoats for the purpose of hunting, and while there are only a few threads on the Packgoatforum from time to time referencing hunting with goats, I also find that this particular thread has more detail and description of hunting ideas and tactics with goats than any of the ones on the packgoatforum. There arent many threads on the packgoatforum about hunting, and most of them are pretty short. The packgoatforum does a great job talking about goat health issues, techniques of how to use certain types of gear, etc, but most are in reference to average backpacking type trips not for hunting. In fact, I think that there is a fairly small minority of folks (within the entire packgoat community) that heavily use their pack goats for hunting, especially how I do it with the goats in tow the whole way (instead of leaving them in camp all the time) But since this thread started, I have encountered more and more interest in using goats for hunting, which is a great use for the goats in my opinion.
