Yes, I think goats are much more like deer than any other domesticated
animal when it comes to butchering and taste.  I know for lamb, I want
the fat, but not for deer and goats. I just realized that my sig file no
longer says where I am(duh), so just to let you know, I am over in NW
Georgia, Armuchee area.  We, too, are overrun with deer.
For Christmas I got my Navy son a Ruger .308, bolt action rifle.  He's
going to leave it here when he heads back to Pearl next week. He put a
nice scope on it-costs more than the rifle itself, and has been hunting
everyday since.  He shot one two days ago, but we never found it despite
a blood trail leading off our property.  We think a neighbor got
it.(long story)
