I would make a call to Beau Baty with Wilderness Ridge Trail Llamas. I am sure there have been cancellations due to COVID. I have 11 llamas myself and there is nothing better for a backcountry hunt!!I am curious if anybody has any recommendations on where they would rent some Mules, Goats, or llamas? in Wyoming
it is definitely way too late to be looking but I know for a fact there have been more cancellations this year than prior years. I have heard that from multiple people that rent out packers.Cancellations due to Covid? License sales and applications are up in every western state this year because of covid. This probably is the worst year to wait til almost August to look for pack animals to rent.

Goats are great. I started with goats before transitioning to llamas. I didn't like the fact that they have to follow you while hunting. Also, you train them until they are 3-4 and they only pack to age 9-10. Horses and llamas will pack until they are 20. It didn't make sense to me but i have some good friends that swear by them.I looked into renting some llamas from wilderness ridge a few weeks ago and they were booked up. I also checked high uinta pack goats and they were booked as well. Ended up getting on the list to buy some goats next spring to raise myself. It'll be a three year investment to train them, but will be nice to never need to rely on renting.
