Margaret, I think it would work really well with venison, too. But only cook it 6 to 8 hours.

Wow!! I haven’t had goat in YEARS. I will have to try this with venison. Sounds great.

Nice change from pulled pork.

Look for a butcher that specializes in exotic meats. Venison (deer and elk) is domestically raised and then sold to consumers and restaurants. Or make friends with a hunter!

Hi Anne-Marie, thanks for your prompt reply! It’s clear I need a hunting husband, since I have never seen or tried venison either. But I will keep my eyes open in the store for them both. You never know what you will find in my local shop!

Sarah, when raw it looks like the venison (deer antelope) my husband gets from hunting. However, it grills up very tough even if it’s marinaded. So slow cooking it is the only way to go!

I have never eaten goat before. When raw does it look similar to pork? Twenty hours is probably the longest cooking time I have ever heard of. It’s a good thing the slow cooker is electric, not gas, eh?

Actually, maybe you should say, “Holy goat!”

Angela, you have to hunt it in the Colorado mountains. It's very hard to get a license, but my husband lucked out and got one. (It's a once in a lifetime thing.) He had to hire an outfitter as it's a tough hunt and you need a guide to show you where they are. Most days he had to hike 4 or 5 hours just to get to where the animals are. You can see a picture of the animal (and my husband) here.
