neil cooney 10,416 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Nice write up Jigsaw. I was in a yard a few years back at the start of July in the North and could see a load of skinned goats ready for feeding his dogs, he had about 50 bulldogs, and I asked were they goats ? He said of course they were. It never dawned on me that the 12th was coming up and all these goats had lost their hides for covering the big LAMBEGS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 27,294 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 would it not be easier to drag them on a plastic sledge?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,837 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Miss these goat hunting threads Jig, nice to see one again! You ever tried field butchering it and pack it out? Got to be easier than dragging over that country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,899 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 would it not be easier to drag them on a plastic sledge?? Tomo you have to trek through a big forestry at times to get to places and over ridges of rock face,the noise would alert them id say without doubt,and its full of crevasses and pitfalls...ive played with the idea over the years but think it might not work... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got to be easier than dragging over that country. I am always determined to get the hell out of the place once im successful,I suppose if I did bring a bag with gear to butcher it might be handy but I reckon carrying too much crap is another issue..I find it bloody aqward enough trying to manage the gun ,camera and other bits and pieces.i am going to try find a sling that carries the gun comfortably.the over the shoulder method is not working well,between the barrel hitting the branches as I duck down under and the magazine digging into my back while i maneuver about the ledges isnt helping at all lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
