Arizona Pack Goat Bans?

[Nanno]

This is not an ignorant post at all and it's one of the things that can be most frustrating for all of us who pack with goats. The information is just not out there in a central location for each state. You have to read the forest plans for each individual area of public land. There is a difference between bighorn sheep habitat and "core" bighorn sheep habitat but you need to find the area you want to go into and look at the forest plan with the coded overlay map and see exactly which area(s) are considered "core habitat". It's a little tedious and you may need to call the district ranger office to help you find the correct online source. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that there is very little core bighorn habitat in your area. Hopefully that's the case!
