Got Goats?

For all of us who don't draw goat tags...maybe next year. Just have to enjoy finding them and shooting digital instead.

I think they always look like they are grinning and enjoying life! I would be too if I lived where they do....well, maybe not in the winter!

These are from the upper Enchantments above Sprite Lake.  Never saw goats at Nada Lake.

Nice pictures! 
SkyVal that second photo almost looks fake it is so perfect!  I know it's not just sometimes happens in the pristine.
BCG,  I like the second picture in the new uploads.

Skyval, do you go up Assgard Pass to get to the upper Enchantments, or do you take the long way from the Snow Lake side? I have only done it from the Snow Lake side.  Very nice pictures of the herd.  Here is one of me having a coffee break with them.
