Thanks for the NAPgA shout-out, Taffy!
Ken, I wouldn't let the proposed closures discourage you. The goat packing community needs more members!
There are still lots of places to take your goats, depending on what you want to do with them. The National Forests in Oregon are only proposing to close certain portions (bighorn sheep habitat), not the entire forest. And, depending on what happens with our comments and ongoing research findings and recommendations, it may not happen for a while, or ever. All the National Forests in Idaho are still open to goat packing, including the Sawtooth, the Payette, and the Clearwater. These Forests contain vast stretches of some of the most beautiful wilderness in the country. We just need to always be responsible goat owners when we are on public lands.
And by all means, please continue to exercise your right to comment and voice your opinion every time a Land Use Plan proposes to close areas to Pack Goats--Saph
