What ever came out of this survey? Did they find many goats and are they planning another one this year?

I'd be interested to know this too. Just saw this thread and the link, would love to get out and help with something like this for a weekend trip.

The guys I talked to didn't find many goats. As I recall, the weather was super warm and sunny...not great timing for finding goats as they were trying to stay in the shade.

i hope they do it again this year. overall i think many areas were left with no volunteers and i feel like the weather had a negative effect on sightings being close to 90* up there. our team only turned up one billy. hopefully the ball gets rolling soon, before peoples schedules fill up!

They need to look in 460, plenty of goats here

how many would you estimate? last i heard, they wanted at least 100 confirmed in a unit before they were at all interested in researching offering a tag
