The sighting of a man dressed in a goat suit on a Utah mountain is causing concern among state wildlife officials, The Associated Press reported.

The man, who remains unidentified, was spotted by photographer Coty Creighton on July 15 during a hike on Ben Lomond peak just north of Ogden in northern Utah.

Creighton told the AP he saw the man through a set of binoculars trailing behind a herd of goats on his hands and knees.

It is always a good idea to dress up as wildlife when hunting. /sarc

The pig-man goat-man! I saw a pig-man goat-man! He was just lying there and then he woke up. He looked up at me and made this horrible sound!

Another thread, Goat Man” Prompts Speculation, Awe

As to what he's got to look forward to theres the Woman’s ‘Rowr, I’m a Cougar’ Prank Results in Gunfire

If I had more time I'd look for an old thread about the idiots who think doe in heat urine is cologne, and poar it on themselves. I love the guys who dress up as cranes in central WI and help the whoopers migrate. We do threads about them every year.

But there's a purpose to that. What is goat man about.
