Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting More on the packgoats

update time.... 4 of 7 are between 150 and 160 pounds. The smallest is pushing 120, the next two around 130-140. Will all be yearlings next month. Even my smallest are larger than average. My biggest boys are gonna be huge it seems.

Loading the goats in my truck is still pretty easy. 3 will usually jump in on their own. The rest are cooperative getting in with help. Ivar always needs a little coaxing getting out for some reason.
The big news is packs went on for the first time today and we took a little hike. No problems whatsoever, but no weight in any pack yet.. They took it like champs. Even the strap that rose up under Ragnar’s tail wasn’t a big deal. He got a little jumpy but settled down as soon as I figured out what was wrong and fixed it. I took them somewhere familiar too, just in case this was going to be a big deal.
