A man spotted dressed in a goat suit among a herd of wild goats in the mountains of northern Utah has wildlife officials worried he could be in danger as hunting season approaches. Phil Douglass of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said the person is doing nothing illegal, but he worries the so-called “goat man” is unaware of the dangers. Douglass said a man hiking along Ben Lomond peak in the mountains above Ogden spotted the person dressed like a goat among a herd of real goats. Wildlife officials now just want to talk to the man so that he is aware of the dangers. There’s no telling what his intentions are, Douglass said, but it is believed he could just be an extreme wildlife enthusiast. Douglass said wildlife officials received an anonymous call from an “agitated man” after the sighting was reported in local media. The caller simply said, “Leave goat man alone. He’s done nothing wrong.’”
