I recently posted some awesome golden trout photo of my brother's 70 mile back packing trip. Well here I go living vicariously again. He and a couple of friends just got back from a five day back packing trip into the bear tooth moutains in Montana. The lake they packed into was very remote. It was difficult to find a flat spot for tents.

On the first night, they heard animals in camp. They kept tripping over the tent lines. They next morning they met their friends that stuck around for the duration of the trip.
Apparently the goats enjoyed the salt found in human urine. They had peed in camp before retiring that first night and the goats came in to lick it up. The goats followed my brother and friends around and every time they peed the goats came a running. With no other flat spots they kept the tents in the same place and learned to live with the nightly disturbances. My bro said that there was wool everywhere when they packed camp up. It seems the goats shed just in time to start growing a new winter coat.

If he sends me pics of the fat football like brookies they caught, I'll post some up.

Don't feel bad Not enough I enjoy living vicariously through your brother too! Very cool pics and story thanks again for sharing!

Cool story and pics! Thanks for sharing them!

That's a pretty awesome story! Thanks for posting along with the pics!

Here's a couple of more pics.
My bro said they would paw at and lick the spot they had peed on until there was a 6" deep hole. Who need's trophy rock when you can just pee.

I find your brother's whole story...

just simply amazing!

Wow, I have always seen them to be skiddish; must be pretty accustomed to folks. That is cool!

Here's one more pic.

Nice story ehehehehehe, your brother seems like a lucky person to be out packing like he does.

Here a pic of a fat brookie from the trip. It's hard to see from the photo but it's about 4" wide.
