Hunting with Llamas

[Grouse]

I've been reading about using Llamas as pack animals and it's seems to be a very good idea.

Great story! 

I have never used a pack animal, but hunting out west they are invaluable, and used quite a bit.

I believe there are people who use them in the adirondacks too?

If you are a tent wilderness back pack camper hiking deep into back country where no vehicles are allowed pack Llamas are a very good idea and work well for such hunting. They can haul enough equipment to make for a very comfortable base camp and also make coming back out with game that has been taken a much easier chore.

 Rinella did a show using Llamas to haul their equipment and they were sure well worth having along from what I saw.

I know a few in the Dacks that use mules, but none that use llamas.  I think they should look into using llamas though.

Besides pack animals, supposidly they are good eating.  I read that the meat is lean and tender, with flavor somewhere between lamb and beef.  That provides meal options, on back country hunts in the US, that you can't get with horses (it is not legal to eat those in this country).
