SALT LAKE CITY,-- A Utah wildlife official said the mysterious "goat man" photographed crawling near some goats was a California hunter testing out a goat stalking disguise.
Phil Douglass, conservation outreach manager for the Division of Wildlife Resources, said he was contacted recently by a 57-year-old California man who revealed he had donned a goat suit July 15 and appeared in Coty Creighton's photograph near Ben Lomond Peak just north of Ogden, the Ogden Standard-Examiner reported Tuesday.
Douglass said the man, who did not give his name, gave information substantiating his claims and said he was testing out the goat suit for an upcoming hunting trip.
"He gave me details that convinced me it was him," Douglass said. "I'm satisfied that this was a person preparing for a hunt and did it with knowledge and experience."
Creighton said he had enjoyed the mystery about the goat man's identity.
"I thought I wanted answers, but I was naive. I should have left well enough alone. Now I just want the mystery back," he said.

Squeal like a goat, boy!
The Indians used this type of camo for centuries....
Guy had best watch out, some of those muzzies can’t tell the sheep from the goats!
Dressing up like what you’re hunting seems unwise to me....
Naaahhh, dressing up like what other people are hunting is unwise....
Okay, that explains “Goat Man”.......but how do you explain “Bat Boy?”
I found this cartoon I remember as a kid that included a hunting outfit for your mother-in-law.
they will find out the difference when they try to mount a billy. Those guys can get pretty testy when they want to...a goat can kill another goat just with a hard slam to the middle....I once had a gal call me cause she had heard via the goat grape vine I could skin a goat with a single edge razor and an air compressor. she didn’t know what killed it until we got the hide down to the belly...it had a large bruise on one side and the other side of the belly was black with a huge bruise from the rebound of the hit...
Good grief!! That goat is as big as a cow!
My buddy John tried out a grizzly bear suit.....may he rest in peace......
Once you get all that fur off it looks like a stick figure...
IOW, there wasn’t much meat left on it, was there?
Swan Man is called “trolling for gator” here in Florida.
We didn’t get into the meat in skinning it but I bet the insides were all ruptured to leave marks like it did. She just found it dead in the pasture, young male, not too smart yet but had a great hide as it was in full hair, hadn’t been sheared in 5 months....an angora hide is beautiful. She brought the dead goat to my farm, but it was on the condition she take the carcus with her, I didn’t want to bury it....it doesn’t take long to skin if you use the air compessor, the goat blows up like a baloon and the hide seperated from from the meat, you just need to cut all the bubbles the compressor left. Easy to do, no blood if your careful. I once nicked a bladder but never had one bleed. You don’t ever want to nick the stomach or intestines.....PU
