Title: Goats on Mt. Si
Post by: Bob Williams1 on April 20, 2014, 07:13:05 PM: Took some pictures of some goats roaming the hillside out on Mt. Si. Pretty kewl

Quality is tough because at that range and zoom you have to be really solid on the tri-pod and it was a little shaky but you can definitely see them.

Yea I had my video camera stuck to the backend of my spotting scope and pulled those "stills" off the video. Those goats are probably 800 to 1,000 away and out of some pretty steep stuff. If I was more off to the side of them you could see slope but trust me when i tell ya, it would be harnesses and lines to hang out where they're hangin out as one wrong move could be your last.

Cool to see um though

Not often that they show their face up there in the open country without getting a ways off the beaten path.
Thanks for sharing!!

Post by: blindluck on April 23, 2014, 08:50:11 PM: They say their is about 50 goats on Si, there must be some real trophys up there since you cant hunt them, Ive seen a herd of 12 up there once

Post by: bankwalker on April 25, 2014, 10:47:29 PM: That's so cool to see them there. Ive seen them every do often in the 20 years I spent growing with the Snoqualmie tree farm as my family's hunting grounds. My dad and uncle always tell me about seeing herds up there all the time back in the 60s and 70s
