2020 WY Deer w/ Packgoats

[Duck-Slayer]

I better get this thread going, that time of year again. Get myself and the goats in shape! This year we’re off to WY for deer w/ @publichunter1 Should be a great great adventure! Been on two, 2 milers with the goats fully loaded down with gear. 1 set of panniers goes 32 lbs and the other set goes 36 as of right now. Got a couple things to wiggle around and see if I really want to bring it. The second set includes 8L of water.

Glad to see the crew is doing good. Can't wait to see them in action and to have some MD bone on our backs coming down.

I'll be following. Smaller pack animals like goats/lllamas/burros intrigue me.

Got 1 of these to try, anyone try one of these yet?

Got in another 2 miles last night with Buck and Prince. Took One of my 3 1/2 y/o out also, will be his first year packing. Going to have to start thinning the herd out. Got 6 packers this year and 3 up and comers. Going to be tough in a couple more years. I’ll have to start thinning out even more.
On another note should be getting 5 more Peak Refuel meals in the mail, in the next few days.

Picked up a 100qt. Cabelas’s polar cap cooler for our WY trip. Hopefully it will come back with 2 deer in it.

100qt is a good size. I have a 100 and a 150 and almost never pack the 150 because it's so cumbersome.

It's got Chad Mini Mendes on it, how could it not be good? Can't go wrong with freedom sauce, bison or taters,
especially combined.

Our "boys"...Blue, Red, Nubby and Clyde...packing out the bull from my avatar in 2018. They spotted some whitetails up on the hill to the right long before I did.

There awesome, basically 2 thin waffles and a honey/sugar mix in the middle. 250 calories and there tiny/thin! Don’t eat them on a regular basis you won’t stay in shape very long lol,

Making a last minute switch with the goat crew, bringing Spook instead of Bill. Spook is the white goat next to Danner in the goat pics above.
