Title: Shorter mountain goat seasons
Post by: shanevg on April 27, 2014, 07:57:27 AM: Don't know now I missed it but I just noticed in the regs that WDFW shortened goat seasons and they now ends on October 15. Talk about making it tough to hold out for a good hide. You have a weather system move in and your screwed in mid-October.

Anyone know the reason for shortening seasons?

I noticed the shorter season too. No reason I can think of unless they want all LEO's available for rifle elk season.

Yup, they issued a correction online. Glad to hear.

I had no idea what you were talking about until I re-read my original post. Not a late night, just stupid iphone autocorrect. It's cleaned up now.

Now after reading this, I'm glad it was a mistake and corrected.
