New goat units

[snowpack]

the tribes that hunt these new units don't have a quota that I know of.  They can get one tag per person per year from what I remember.  I don't recall them being transferrable, so only a few goats get to take their 'leadicine'.

There are a unregulated # of tags out there by certain tribes, I think I know which tribe you are talking about.  I also know who was the cooperative partner doing the study with WWU. I will look into how many goats were taken if they give up the info (a coin flip at best).   I still am wondering about the 8-10 and now a claim that that's on the conservative side. .. I will do some digging but like I said before and your first hand knowledge(the mountain rescue), goat country is for a select few.
I am still not even doubting you claim, it's just a significant number when speaking of a highly volatile population in the area of 450 +/-.

Would love to be wrong and would love to hear what you find.

I was hoping no-one would see this in the regs
