Mt. Goat on the Snake

[tonymoe]

goats rule. I have seen all the ones talked on this thread. I have seen them in places that I rubbed my eyes and thought "wtf?"

That is so weird I was fishing on the Klick last fall and there was a mountain goat above the fisher hill bridge about a mile from the mouth.  He was in the same general area every day.  I told some people about it and they said it had swam the columbia.  The story came from a reliable source, don't know how else it could have gotten there, cool to see though.

I wonder if that was the Dalles goat.  Sure are weird creatures.  I guess when they get it in them to go somewhere, they just go.

I heard that the wdfw tried to establish a goat heard a few year ago. Didn't give it much thought until I read this post. That's sure enough a goat.

This one isn't so weird I don't think but I saw a couple a few years back up the Rattlesnake Creek drainage, right where the North Fork and the main stem come together. It was during late archery and there was a lot of snow up high. I was glassing a hillside for deer and almost looked right over them assuming they were patches of snow.

Hey 7mmfan,

Is that the Rattlesnake Creek just out of Husum?

I was just below Darling Mtn side hilling some nasty crap.. A rock slide....    In a very heavy snow storm.... Come around a bend and ten feet from me is Billy.... I was like HOLY F!!!... And he was walking toward me...  I started to back up and get my 43 ready at the same time.... Got back to where the rocks about ended.. This thing rounds the corner and keeps coming at me.... Looking at me like why are you on my trail!!!! I wanted nothing to do with him at this point...Who would believe that you had to shoot a billy in self defense... So I tried to run up the hill as fast as I could wile keeping an eye on him... I fell and figured this was it.... He just pick up his pace and walked right by me at ten feet or so.... Looking at me like dumb ass!!!! And I'm all breathing hard and sweating... He was cool goat.... I named him Scary.... See him every now and then around Eagles Nest...
