- Goat Rescues and Rugged Hunts: Kurt J’s Backcountry Adventures
Ever wondered how pack goats can transform your hunting experience? Join us as we sit down with Kaden Fogg and special guest Kurt J from Preference Taxidermy to uncover the incredible versatility of Oberhasli goats in Utah's backcountry. Kurt takes us through his journey from solo hunting to leveraging the stamina and loyalty of pack goats, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight just how resilient and helpful these animals can be. From bottle-raising to training, you'll get an inside look at what it takes to build a strong bond with these amazing creatures and how they've made hunting trips not just easier, but far more enjoyable.
We also tackle the less glamorous but crucial aspects of goat care, diving deep into health and feeding practices that keep these pack animals in top condition. With firsthand accounts, we discuss the warning signs of illnesses like pneumonia and the impact of a well-balanced diet on goat health. You’ll hear about a particularly alarming case of avian influenza and the measures you can take to protect your herd. Kurt and Caden break down feeding strategies, the importance of vaccinations, and other essential tips for maintaining a healthy, thriving group of pack goats.
Our conversation takes a thrilling turn as we recount some unforgettable backcountry adventures, including a dramatic wilderness rescue at 11,000 feet. Amid stories of efficient meat transport and nail-biting hunts, we also share practical advice on being prepared in rugged terrains. Kurt’s upcoming shed hunting plans and how you can follow his exciting outdoor escapades on Instagram add the perfect close to this episode. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or curious about using pack goats, this episode promises insights, laughs, and invaluable tips to elevate your next adventure.- Got Questions?
