Hey duck slayer.
We took our two packing hopefuls on a three night backpack trip, there were reports of a griz in the very near vicinity. We were certainly concerned but had no encounters. So like all my trips I reflect back to consider what I would do differently as it was stressful.
For hiking I hope to have a 2nd livestock guardian dog to take with and leave one at home. We have one now and are waiting to see how she shapes up since she is still a pup.
For hunting, none of my goats are ready this year so I have some time to think about it and am thinking I would have to have a really well trained dog before I would take one. Still figuring that one out, hoping the situation will resolve itself before the time comes.
We did highline the goats on our last trip, they made way more noise than I wanted the first two nights but settled down by the third night. So I would highline them and camp close to home or on the property to get them used to the highline before taking them out again.
