So, You get to pack out hide and meat if you want. Does DFW provide a transport tag? If not, what do you do if stopped outside the Park?

WDFW isn't involved.   

If stopped outside the park, the selected voluntary NPS employees will show their documentation to law enforcement.  We all signed multiple documents for this process.  We'll also have NPS insignia vests on us.  If selected.....

It’s not like it’s a secret covert black ops mission.

Yes it is too!!! I've got my uniform almost done up. Don't take that away from me

Can you have a non resident on the team?

Yes. Whole team can be non WA residents. But I think you have to be USA citizen

Clearly you didn’t read the memo about NPS uniforms.

Here's what is going to happen...  One idiot who goes on this eradication is going to share pictures of his group's kills, including the nannies and kids.  When the public sees these pictures, which they will, it's going to be one of the biggest  BLACK EYES  our hunting community has ever seen.  The kind of fuel the anti-hunting groups thrive on. 
And I wouldn't consider this a hunt gentlemen.  The idea of pulling the trigger on a bunch of young goats is wrong IMO, regardless of the Fed's reasons.

Another thing that I think is worth noting is that even for the best hunters this might not be a high success rate hunt. Not like a normal OIL. They’re doing more live captures this summer and are taking everything out of there they can. I think this hunt is just to clean up the final holdouts. I don’t think it’s going to be a bloodbath because it could be legitimately difficult to locate a goat. In some of the units there may not even be any goats left.

  leave it to the hired guns, WDFW is just looking for a bunch of scapegoats to help begin the end of hunting in WA.

I’m wondering if search and rescue is looking for something to do??? Gonna be a lot of people bailing after the hike in... some wicked country in there.

  I think this may be more common than the crazy goat slaughter some people seem to be envisioning.
