There's a lot of weird stuff happening in Utah.

lmao

And there I was thinking it was a taliban trying to get close to a potential date...how wrong I was..

What a great way to get your butt shot off!

tjohn

What a great way to get your butt shot off!

Shot off? not with an arrow. but the ....insertion and removal thereof, could be quite painful.........:)

All it takes is one yahoo in the mountains with a gun and you have a dead goat man.

Ah, so goats are easy to hunt if you dress up like a pair of fuzzy house slippers? Gotta get em with the old bow and arrow, so practicing to get up close to what appears to be some rather less-than-elusive animals is evening the odds?

Lmao @ tjohn That's a funny picture.

Hunter 1: WHOA! Look at the size of that goat!

Hunter 2: Bill, I think that's a ma-

Hunter 1: I'MA SHOOT IT'S FACE OFF

Hunter 2: *face palm* XD

That's what I tell people when I get caught leaving the house in my Sheep outfit.

I just thought it was another Mormon guy trying to get a date.

Perhaps if this stalking technique works well enough, the guy can get close enough to get a little goat's milk.

I'VE TRIED but no believes me though lol

don't hunt the mountain goats. they're cool animals. damn hunters.

I agree!!cool defenseless animals. Damn hunters they spoil everything!

If "goat man" ends up with an arrow in his ass I'm gonna LMAO!!!!!

I think he just got a little lonely...

typical wall-mart shopper but whatta you expect off the rack?...............:)

Edit -This was supposed to be in response to deweydan #3.

So what are you going to do when there are no more meat markets...what will a lot of people do I wonder?

Hunting is a sport. Grocery shopping is a chore. BIG difference!

I am not a PETA fanatic. I am not a tree hugger.

However, I really do not understand the "sport" (Blake's strange word choice) of hunting.

How can anybody take pleasure in killing an animal such as a goat, a deer, a bear, etc.? A little bit of evil in that "sport", methinks.

It is gross and psychotic when you think about it.

Does the man want to take an arrow or get shot? He's nuts.

An animal taken by a hunter has lived his entire life running free. An animal farm-raised to be food to stock a grocery store has most likely been raised in horrible conditions and spent the last several hours of its life smelling death. I like eating venison obtained by hunting, as well as pheasant and turkeys.

Hunting is a sport with the added benefit of supplying the hunter and his family with healthy meat. It's also true that hunters, for the most part, of pretty strong environmentalists.

"Gross and psychotic"...? Really? Go to a meat packing plant.

I'm not in favor of hunting purely for sport. But, hunting for sport and then eating what you hunt is the way things have been done since the dawn of time.

Gil: totally agree.

It's not the kill. It's the hunt.

Someone who loves hunting can go all day and have a great time even if they don't make a kill.

Kind of like 'fishing'. They don't call it 'catching'.

I'm a huge animal lover, but let's not turn this into a "bash-hunters" debate. Our species never would have evolved to this point without a high-protein diet of brain-powering meats.

Couldnt agree more Truth.

Little men wanting to feel big. I swear it really is a small penis thing. For reals. I'm convinced. Only someone with pent up issues would actually enjoy the act of killing an animal and calling it a sport. Especially something as defenseless as a goat. What a joke.

I'm far from a right wing gun nut, but store bought meat does not taste anything like game meat. Also, if something happens and your beef can't be shipped to in from 100s of miles away, then you might need to hunt. People who garden and hunt are prepared to take care of themselves should the need arise.

Being able to hunt different types of animals is also important. If everyone is going after Whitetail deer, then the herds will deplete and become scarce/die out. If you can hunt pheasant, rabbit, goat, boar, and fish, then you have a much more diverse food supply. The goat suit doesn't sound anymore strange than a duck blind.

Since we've eliminated most of the predators from much of the country, hunting deer in particular is necessary to preserve their habitat. Not sure about goats, but wild pigs are also on the destructive hit list.

Either that or bring back the wolves and lions to our neighborhoods.

...pretty strong environmentalists.

The hunters I've seen don't even begin to verge on being "pretty" - no matter how long one has been in hunting camp.

As for being environmentalists, I'm guessing the hunters in the camps I've come across were trying to get beer plants to revegetate the trodden areas. Based on the number of empty beer cans, the hunters were hoping to reap a bumper crop.

I wil grant that they were strong based on the number of cases that had been carried in - unless they hired local sherpas.

I've never hunted in my life, and never will, but I do believe many people are confused about this issue. We've become a pampered society. It's okay to eat animals as long as someone else actually does the killing part. That thing you buy wrapped up in plastic call meat was, in fact, a living animal.

Good posts pro & con: I love animals. I also love meat. I HATE caging and abusing farm animals...... Hunters do help thin the herds & prevent animals from starving to death. And in today's economy we all might need to do more hunting, fishing and farming. I believe it was the American Indian who showed respect & gratitude by thanking the animal for giving up it's life so others could live............

There are hunters and then there are 'bubbas' who go out, get drunk and shoot up anything in sight. The 'bubbas' seem to predominate. Then you have the rich a$$holes, the ones who pay to shoot some animal that was raised on a ranch, never had a fear of humans and is basically staked out so the dipwad can hopefully kill it (without horribly mangling it prior to a miserable death) and mount the head on the wall of his den. Those guys are the ones with the teeny peenie syndrome.

Either that or bring back the wolves and lions to our neighborhoods.

Strangely enough, I heard there are places in America where you can actually get a plate of lion steak.

Spyder Girl - if "Something Happens" - and with a population in the USA of around 300 million - I don't think diverse hunting will help accomplish anything except accelerating the process of a hungry population succeeding in eating just about everything alive on 4 legs in North America within the span of about 4 weeks starting right after after "Something Happens". Let's all hope and pray "Something" doesn't happen.

At the same time in my opinion that has nothing to do with the justification for hunting. Hunting is a fundamental component of our human heritage and a big part of who we are because it's a big part of why we are still here.

So for all these guys to sit there and say it is evil and dumb is pretty much a waste of time and sort of like spitting in the wind. Is there a functional purpose for hunting in our future? I don't think we can answer that question since we don't know the future.

But it's hard to deny the passion that many people feel for this activity all over the world. It's a very fundamental drive in a lot of people. I predict that this fundamental drive is not going to go away.

Every day thousands of innocent plants are slaughtered by vegetarians. Please, do your part and eat some meat today.

Reading the autobiography of James Audobon. When Tambora erupted and caused the year without a summer and there was disastrous crop failures, Audobon and many other Americans survived by hunting.

key word is survived...not for sport!

It is only a "sport" when engaged in by people who do not have to kill animals to live. And it's a crazy idea of sport. Let's go kill something for fun and to show our skill with weapons. The same is true, IMO, of catch-and-release fishing. Let's go out and torture some fish for the fun of it. It's different for people who depend on subsistence hunting and fishing to live. I grew up fishing, but we kept and ate what we caught even though we were not subsistence fishers.

In case you think it's not the killing that hunters consider "fun," think about the sport of cabbage raising... Going out with a knife and harvesting all those excess cabbage to thin the population... ;) Oh, maybe only wild cabbage?

We seem to have multiple experts on "tiny" penises. Girls, please give us some more details. Are you experts in the field? How does commenting on the size of the male member have anything to do with hunting? Besides, it is not the size of the penis as much as the size of the gonads that determines masculinity.

Tell Sylvester Stalone or Burt Reynolds they have tiny "you know whats" and see where that gets you.

The Goat man was just trying out his survival skills. In the post-apocalyptic world, survivors will be eating anything they can, especially the zombies. Everyone knows Zombies don't eat goats.

No experts on tiny penises? Nobody volunteering to comment on penis size and experience with several of the small ones? OK...Let's move on to fake orgasms and frigidity, then to penis envy..., None of which has anything to do with goat hunting except for the fact that a verse in proverbs goes, "It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with an angry and a contentious woman".

If there weren't hunters, we'd be overrun by deer, boar, and I guess, goats.

I'd rather eat venison from the wild than antibiotic and hormone larded beef any day.

We have regulations in place to prevent hunting to extinction. Mountain goats are far from extinction. By the sounds of it, the man in question is trying to get a close shot so he can end the suffering quicker by being closer for either accuracy or less ground to cover to finish the job.

and i am shocked at how little you know. of course

white liberal fanatics are like that, so, i consider the source.

I think the reasoning behind the goat suit is to help insure that he makes a clean shot with the arrow so that the goat does not suffer. Whether or not you agree with hunting, if there were a major disaster and groceries were hard to come by, having skill with a bow and arrow enough to provide for your family could be a positive. Also, hunting with a bow is a lot more equalizing than with a gun; you really need patience and skill. We aren't all built to live quiet domesticated lives. Some people feel alive when they hunt and gather like our ancestors did. I like to hike and take photos of my "prey" instead, but I don't fault those who hunt their own food. They are closer to the lives they ingest than those who eat everything out of plastic wrapped trays from the grocery.

The true "sport" would be to hunt the animal fair game - on foot with no weapons, vehicles, camouflage, traps, etc. Then let's see who the tough one is.

Goats are going extinct? Why didn't somebody tell me?

Give the goat a arrow and then it might be fair.

Since when was fairness an issue in hunting.

What do you think we should do for a gazelle calf to make things fair when a cheetah is trying to kill it.

The concept of fairness doesn't apply to hunting anywhere in the universe that I'm aware of.

heytherejoe,

Why does one hunt a goat?

Easier to hit and clean then say....a hummingbird........:)

Are they hungry for goat meat or just plain stupid?

Ever tried fried or grilled goat?......yummy........:)

If they have enough money to buy that goat suit, don't they have enough money to buy groceries?

Are you kidding? have you seen the price of pork chops lately?.........:)

Hunting with a bow and arrow is a slow death for the animal.

Never hunted or fired a bow have you...come on admit it.............:)

I am shocked that we live in a society that denies animals the freedom to live without being hunted to extinction

i too am "shocked"...shocked i say !!....You may now go back to your tofu and salad...as for me i am in the mood for lamb-chops for some silly reason.....have a nice lunch..............:)

Goat meat is supposed to be quite lean.

...white liberal fanatics...

So hunting in the wild is racist now? Does that mean that drive-by shootings are "black liberal fanatics"?

From what I've witnessed, few hunters are cruel people, and certainly don't take pleasure in killing the animal. The meat you buy in the store comes from slaughtered animals too you now. Just because one was killed by mercifully getting a piece of steel shoved through its skull vs taking an bullet or arrow and experiencing pain doesn't seem to be the motivation behind most of these comments. The motivation seems to be that most of you are so separated from the process of acquiring your own food that you think killing an animal regardless of the method used is icky and barbaric. Grow up. We're animals too. All higher animals exist by taking the life of another animal or plant. This has been how it is for hundred of millions of years. Giving birth is more painful than most of the injuries these animals sustain.

The concept of fairness doesn't apply to hunting anywhere in the universe that I'm aware of.

Man, what I'd give for a Disney movie based on the short story Harrison Bergeron..., maybe using the characters from Bambi...

BBBbbbhhhhaaaaahhhh, bbbbbhhhhaaahhh, Heyjoe1, hunting is quite humane compared to how livestock in corparate factory farms are treated. At least these animals live wild and see the light of day in their lifetimes. That can't be said for cattle, chicken, and pigs raised on huge factory farms. I have no problem with hunters who eat what they kill and only take what they need.

What happened to Tom Green anyway???

What happened to Tom Green anyway???

dont know i'm a big RED Green fan

I think he does crack or is in porn now...

Let this guy get "dressed to kill" while hunting four-legged fuzzy beasts in the great outdoors. Most people get "dressed to kill" while hunting two-legged fuzzy beasts in the local bars.

mike, I seem to recall that a furry was actually killed doing something like what "Goatman" was doing. He was dressed up as a bear at a furry orgy, got drunk, and wandered into an actual bear. Hilarity ensued.

No, I am not going to provide a link from work.

3 years in the Army, but do they call him a soldier? No. 20 years of building bridges, but do they call him a bridge builder? No. Screw 1 goat, however, and he is forever known as "Goatman".

what if another goat is nearsighted and mistakes him as an ewe? then who's the predator?.................:)

Don't worry, one can safely assume that the hunter would also shoot any coyotes or mountain lions in the area.

What makes you say the hunter is merciless? Merciless is when you break it's neck and then start ripping it apart and eating it while it's still in the process of dying, like the goat's natural predators would. I'll bet the hunter will kill it much faster and with much less pain.

"Baaaaa-d"

Chuckalucka...or is it Chachalaca?

That would be two legs and two wings good.

Yeah, birds of a feather....

Lucky he does not look like a white porcupine.

beats the daily drum beating...at least its amusing, and it caught YOUR attention, hence i would venture to say.....yes.......:)

Getting primed for the upcoming event known in Utah as "Deer Widows Weekend". The husbands load the trucks and RVs up with guns ammo and beer. They dress up in camo garb and go into the hills hunting four-legged bucks. The wives dress up in a hot slinky dress and go to the local watering hole and hunt two-legged bucks.

The guys spend hundreds to thousands of dollars "saving" money putting meat on the table for enjoyment. The casinos in Wendover, NV spend hundreds to thousands of dollars luring the women to their casinos for entertainment.

Who are the smarter hunters?

His friend knew he was trying out the suit, saw the, story and advised him to call and explain

killjoy

I was thinking the same thing. Any animal that gets killed feels pain and probably fear. The difference between buying your meat in the grocery store and killing it yourself with a bow and arrow is that the hunter has to deal with the hard facts of life. We live a very sanitized existence these days, but that doesn't mean that our meat didn't suffer. It just means we didn't have to see it. I don't diss anybody who buys meat in the store--that's how I get mine--but hunting is in all likelihood more humane for the animal than factory farming. And it's a skill that is useful.

Among his 13 wives.

Nah. It probably feels about the same as it does for the cow when they put a big hole in her head before cutting her up to send to your local grocery. The only people who have a good position against hunting are vegans, and even their rationale is questionable. It's not a good idea to lose sight of where we all came from. Death by predator is the lot of most animals not at the top of the food chain. Human predators, by and large, are a hell of a lot more humane about it than any non-human predator.

And for the record, duck is some good eatin'.

i know what you mean shadie...But i myself just had to switch to meat after i heard that carrot scream when i RIPPED it mercilessly from the ground to merely feast upon it's freshness................:)

Truthfully, most vegetarians forget that humans are not at the top of the food chain!

naw my money's still on the nearsited goat.................:)

saaaaad....funny mind ya.....but saaad

does it say eat me?....................:)

( i know folk's, i know,......but sometimes its just to easy.)

there's ALWAYS one isn't there.....sigh.....go to first read troll there maybe you and fiesty or beverly can strike up an INTELLIGENT conversation.....but somehow i doubt it.................:(

Poor, poor fiesty, she no more. All gone. Bye-bye I love you fiesty.
