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.

Whey, I certainly don’t want to rile one of those dudes up (presumably we’re talking male goat here.)

That method works very well on hogs, too.

BTW-BBQ’d goat(if done properly) is scrumptious!

"Guy had best watch out, some of those muzzies can’t tell the sheep from the goats!"

LOL...!

At first I thought you were disparaging Muzzle Loaders.

Any reason he’s not a RINO hunter, instead? We need them now more than ever. Dress up in a R.Jewels Diamond Edition suit, infiltrate some East Coast Yacht Club with Lovey on his arm...yeah, he’d flesh them buggers out. Be more sporting too.

Nope, it’s biblical but could be taken another way.

He needs to go to a hunting and fishing show and get one of those suits made out of gunny sacks that make you look like a bush.

Most of the fights were with the neutered males..they knew enough to stay away from the breeder. It was fun watching them, it like you see mountain goats and sheep fight...They start nose to nose, each one backs up several steps, raises on their hind legs and heads for the other goat...a split second before they meet, there head goes down and you can hear the skull hit skull....they do that to protect their legs from getting broke... I had a young buck my husband didn't neuter break a goats leg in a fraction of a second while we were both in the barn talking....They jam the other goats leg between their horns and just twist their head and the goat goes down like its been shot...after seeing that hubby finally decided to neuter the bugger..We usually neutered at 3 months this buck was a yearling...

The females fight at times over position within the flock, but they are not quite as violent as the males...

I think you've got it! LOL! I tried one of those on at a gunshow (just for fun) and the dust and lint I inhaled nearly killed me.
