It’s fun when people ask about these knucklehead Packgoats of mine. Conversation usually starts out with disbelieve and a bit of confusion, then is rapidly followed up with excitement and laughter! They are tough as nails, strong, and can out hike most guys I know even when they are loaded up.
These boys have burrowed their way into our lives and hearts - sounds corny but they really have. We have dogs and cats, and honestly I’d take a goat over either of those. They are loyal, sweet, low maintenance, and best of all they carry my stuff in the backcountry - I don’t see a dog doing that!
We just got back from a busted bear hunt, but was able to get a new packer out (Echo) along with a younger goat (Groot) that we have had since birth. It was a pretty special hunt even though we didn’t come home with a bear - seeing those two grow up a bit was rad.
Can’t wait for the next trip. 🐐 🐻
