Huaco:
I am looking into buying and slaughtering Boer goats for my "off season" table fare when out of venison.  By purchasing a live goat, I will, of course, have all the tendons and other things... Would goat sinew be worth a darn for primitive archery uses?  I am new to prim. arch. and to goats too!  I would love to be able to use the most out of a goat as I can.  Maybe horn nocks?

Papa Matt:
If you really think about it, a whitetail is nothing more than a glorified woodland goat. Sometimes they even smell the same. I've never used them, but I have read that goat tendons work and I'm sure they would too.

Pat B:
Goat raw hide makes excellent bow backing!   Their sinews ought to work OK but they are probably a bit smaller. The horns, if any, will make good tip overlays.     Pat

Ryano:
Ive often wondered how a goat would taste? Similar to deer you think? Let us know...maybe I'll be goat shopping.....

Papa Matt:
I have eaten goat, and it is similar to deer but a bit stronger, depending on the sex and age of the goat. A young female would taste way better than an adult musky male. Young goat is not bad, if you like deer. Some people just don't have a taste for deer or goat, either one.
