Goats

andrew cochran · 07-17-2008, 10:48 AM

Hey guys!

The last couple of weeks I've had two goats hanging around my yard.

I've put adds on two radio stations for them and called the sherif.

Some guys came by last night and thought they'd take them home but when they shook the feed bag they just ran off. Now that unusuall!

They are eating my garden now. Won't come near people. Sherif said to get rid of them anyway nessary.

Any ideas? These things are wild! And anoying!

Hey goat BBQ is good stuff!! If you could catch them somehow, you could get between $40 and $60 depending on what kind they are and what condition. If I lived close enough to ya, I would LOVE to come take them off your hands!!! I live in N.E. part of Arkansas.

andrew cochran · 07-17-2008, 11:25 AM

I'm afraid the only way to catch them would be a bullet. And I really hate to say that. I've already had two different guys come out and try to catch them to take them to thier farm with no sucess.

I'd hate to see you shoot them. Be nice if you could build a fenced area to keep them in.
Are they much of a problem ? Do I need to drive up there and help you catch them LOL ????

Ive seen people catch wild hogs using a pen made from cattle panels with a hinged door that only opens one way. Like this; I would definitely try to catch them before I killed them if for no other reason than making a little money. You could easily sell them to the local hispanics.

andrew cochran · 07-17-2008, 12:44 PM

I really don't want to shoot them either. Maybe I can corral them into the dog pen???

ArkansasHunter · 07-17-2008, 12:47 PM

andrew cochran · 07-17-2008, 01:02 PM

You done got that right! If I wasn't busy enough already.

ArkansasHunter · 07-17-2008, 01:03 PM

andrew cochran · 07-17-2008, 01:06 PM

You better believe I am! And mixing was werse!

.22guy · 07-17-2008, 01:27 PM

Just shoot 'em. Or maybe throw big-a$$ firecrackers at them or something.

andrew cochran · 07-17-2008, 01:38 PM

Dang no more firecrackers. I done used em all. And they ain't sellin them. Maybe a shotgun in the ground would work.

tamalpias · 07-19-2008, 03:31 PM

just be careful how you ain that shotgun, cause bb's can bounce. :P

nc.hunter · 07-19-2008, 03:50 PM

Instead of shooting the goats with a bullet and kill it, why not tranquilize the goats, here is a link to a company called pnue darts, they sell the guns, darts. scopes, cleaning kits. Here is the link : https://www.pneudart.com/index.php.

i know you dont want to shoot them but that may be the only option if you cant catch em, unless they are those fainting goats that faint if you scare em lol. sounds like you just need to get some friends out there and have some fun chasing em til you catch them.....hey maybe if they eat enough of ur garden they will be to fat to run

nathangdad · 07-20-2008, 12:55 AM

Call out a butcher and tell him you will split the meat if he will do the butchering. Then send the goats off to the happy munching grounds.

Goat meat is not that great but it is not the worst meat in the world.
