I was just reading this. I will give the WDFW credit though that they are finally volunteering hunters to do this instead of hiring contractors to kill them.

Non lead ammunition? Are they serious? Goats are one of the harder animals to kill with good ammunition.

Copper bullets work great.

Possibly 15 miles in that country is no joke.

Also remember, you're going to be expected to kill every one you see. Even the kids.

I read in to it and it sounds like the hunter can keep meat and hide. The DFW wants some samples and the skull plate.

I am totally in if someone is forming a legit group. My dream is to hunt goats and this sounds like a great opportunity. I have all my gear and can shoot and hike

How many goats and why the need for "non-lead ammunition"?  How many bullets will be needed to kill the goats and are they using fully automatic firearms? This is what happens when non-hunters basically run the WDFW.

From the link posted in the first post:
"Volunteers must supply all their own required equipment and supplies, including suitable firearms and non-lead ammunition"
