Coincidentally the deer population in the high country has taken a massive hit due to the burgeoning lion population. I believe that they have begun targeting goats as the deer population shrinks. :twocents:

Hasn’t been any hunting in the area just north of there that shut down in the late 90’s I believe. It had 10 tags in there in 1994. More going on here then what wdfw knows or is telling

They know who's been hunting in there but their liberal agenda won't allow them to do anything about it.

Please do tell.

:yeah:
Places are nearly void of deer, and unfortunately goats now as well, that once always held decent numbers. The rec pressure likely pushes goats into less desirable habitat where they could be getting hit harder by cats. That's purely speculation at this point but has been in discussions throughout.
CarbonHunter:
The state issued tags is not what caused the drop in population. Both the tribes and state were trying to figure out how all the transplanted goats died as well.
I’m sure they know but their findings conflict with their agendas or they would have published the results.

Not true but speak as if you know. The criticism lies in the fact that there was zero funding to do investigations. Actually very little funding to collar. The ones that were investigated were a mix of cougar kills and several undetermined but were in avalanche chutes.
