When the llamas are picketed out (near base camp), we usually hang orange vests in the trees around their perimeter ... figuring anyone approaching will see a hanging vest (first) and be a little cautious ... and not so trigger happy.

Chris had contacted Idaho Fish and Game when the llama had escaped during last years hunt and also put up some reward signs on local Forest Service information boards. There were 6 or 7 sightings of Woody over the last year. Two by outfitters working the area and 1 by one of their clients. Two other sightings were by loggers working the unit and one by a woman who had the llama walk into her hunting camp ... and she petted him ... but didn't think to grab his halter and a piece of rope and tie him to a tree.

I had suggested last Summer, that he haul another of his llamas up there and camp for a week (to leave scent) and since llamas are gregarious ... see if Woody might come in. Then, with a little rattling of the ole grain bucket ... he could be lured right in and grabbed.
