Post by: Craig on August 01, 2012, 01:30:04 PM: Took the family on a quick trip to Glacier National Park. Had a great time and found these guys and girls on one of the hikes.

Post by: deaner on August 22, 2012, 04:19:02 PM: just thought id mention it since nobody else did. dont forget about the goat that killed a hiker in olympic national park, what was it, two years ago? gored the guy, then stood over his body preventing his friends from helping him while he slowly bled to death. this was shortly before they changed the law so that people with concealed carry permits could take sidearms into parks. might be a good idea to keep the kids at a bit more of a distance from wild animals.

Cool picture for sure but I have to agree with the statemet above. Looks though these three Goats are more like park pets :chuckle: :chuckle: However, they still wild park pets :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: Craig on August 22, 2012, 09:44:04 PM: That trail is the most hiked trail in Glacier. I bet they see 500+ people a day. I'm sure you never know what's going to happen but we kept a little distance.
