Title: mt. goat on Colonel Bob?
Post by: Coastal_native on July 20, 2014, 10:00:33 AM: Any of you locals see the picture in the Facebook post from an Amanda Park local? A mountain goat up on colonel Bob? Pretty interesting, seems a little far from home.

If you go up the Penny creek road, sometimes you will see one on the road at the 2500-3000 foot level. I took a picture of one some years ago. Seeing them in the timber is not that unusual. A little odd maybe, but not unusual. Their main enemy there is the mountain lion. There are large swatches of land where the mountain lions are thin. Those are areas where you may see a goat.
Mountain lion hunting is a family tradition to some of those living on the Olympic peninsula. Mountain lions roam in their back yards.

It's not necessarily the elevation or terrain that surprised me. I just didn't think they inhabited that part of the Olympics. That's a very popular day hike and I'd never heard of a goat sighting until this one.

That's where the one I heard about was seen. In the mountains at the north end of the lake.

Yup, just the kind of response I was expecting!? Next he'll be telling us he about the big Blackies that live in and around his house and how he can't post pics somehow.............
