rcdinaz Report post Posted March 26, 2015 There is a really long thread with a ton of info on Long range hunting.com. If I remember they recommend about 25-30 lbs. That is a lot of extra gear if you have 2-3, no food required and they are able to drink any water you can find and don't need much. If I had the space I would have some.

From all the reading I have done it all depends on size of goat, bread, and the amount of training\ excercise. Some goats can carry up to 60 pounds all day in rouged country and some wont make it a mile with 15 pounds on their backs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeardownAZ Report post Posted March 26, 2015 Not trying to hijack the thread but what about Alpacas?? They aren't much bigger and you could get a side benefit of there fleece. Ive been interested in these but not just for hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
