http://www.abc4.com/content/news/top_stories/story/Hiker-spots-man-in-goat-suit-frolicking-with-a/8tKqdZF7s0eioSivDg8O-w.cspxCoty Creighton was hiking Ben Lomond peak early Sunday morning, when he came across a herd of goats and noticed one was trailing behind. Coty pulled out his binoculars to get an even closer look, and realized it was a man, acting like a goat.
"His goat costume was definitely home made, it wasn't done very well he had a full mask covering his face up and fake horns coming off the top of his head, he even had to lift the mask at times to make his way and see over rocks and bushes," Creighton said.
Creighton tried to rationalize it, thinking the guy may have been a photographer, but he had no gear.
"Once I realized he had no camera gear or anything else, it went from being really funny to really creepy," he said.

Yeah, old news from July 19th but comic relief is good

(3,508 posts)"Following a friend's advice, the man called Douglass on Monday to let him know he was testing out a goat suit to train for an archery hunt of mountain goats in Canada in 2013, the Standard-Examiner reported.
He gave me details that convinced me it was him, Douglass, who did not ask the mans name, told the newspaper. Im satisfied that this was a person preparing for a hunt and did it with knowledge and experience.
The man told Douglass the goat costume was made out of a hooded painters suit outfitted with fleece. According to the report, he also told Douglass he has hunted in several foreign countries, including Mongolia.
He found out about Utah and that it was fairly easy to get close to the goats to (train) to get a clean harvest shot with archery equipment, Douglass told the Standard-Examiner.

(50,950 posts)Like how many would be doing what the person originally thought the goat man was doing out in the open in daylight? And what is the likelihood that someone would be able to accomplish what he was thinking without getting hurt? I sure wouldn't want to mess with a goat out in the open. And it doesn't look like these are farm goats either.
freeplessinseattle
(3,508 posts)then again, anyone who gets so wrapped in the sport of hunting has got a little screw loose, IMHO.
