    @grandpamac I know many hunters look down their noses at those who hunt goats. I've had more than my fair share of passive aggressive and snide comments but it's like water off a duck's back. I do hunt deer, but I can easily keep the freezer full with lovely goat meat. And; if you're trying to grow/farm/hunt as much as possible you go for the easiest source of protein.

    Yes I hunt deer too; have a lot of venison in the freezer. But I'm also thinking of the future. I'll be 60 next year and eventually I'll be too old to climb the steep hills to hunt deer, but I could quite possibly be able to hunt the gentler country for goats. If I can get enjoyment from hunting goats then I can continue hunting and not be an old moany codger sitting around bemoaning the fact tat I can't hunt deer anymore.

    Actually; I derive a lot of pleasure out of making nice food from an animal that so many hunters just blow away for the sheer hell of it.... So all hail the mighty goat!
