Wow, what a story. I bet the adrenaline was really pumping after that encounter.
I'm new to goat packing. I've packed with my friend in Idaho with his llamas. He's convinced bears won't even approach camp with llamas in camp. He's never had an issue, and reports others realizing the same, even when camped in bear country. Seems bears either fear, or just don't like llamas. Don't know.
What about goats? You guys that pack with goats out west. Ever had bears harassing your goats? We have plentiful black bears in Western North Carolina and when I pack with my goats, I just wonder if bears have any interest in investigating goats in your camp?
