GMU 356 mountain goats
« on: November 16, 2022, 05:42:14 PM »
I wasn’t able to spend any time this summer or fall when I was back visiting family to look for goats in what was their normal spots throughout GMU 356.

For those of you that actually spend a reasonable amount of time in that unit, did you see any changes to the mountain goat patterns after the fire? I’m planning on hiking up into their historical wintering spots and taking pictures if I get back for the Holidays. Looking at a post fire burn severity and vegetation map, it looked like a lot of their ground was nuked.

Lots of ground got nuked.  I'm very curious as well as I typically put in for that unit.

Considering I live close by to the unit here is what I can tell you. In April……. The burn section if your looking at onX is very patchy. We had embers lift and go almost a mile before igniting another part of the forest. The 12 is still very green, cut the back roads and start glassing. We saw a group of 8-12 goats, again back in April. Because of the fire there is plenty of feed for them as the underbrush finally has a chance to grow. I’d keep an eye on vegetated rocky areas.
