Title: Has anyone else seen the billie goat?
Post by: stew pidasso on October 11, 2011, 11:17:42 PM: I drew eastern watershed this year. While scouting 2 weeks ago, my hunting partner an I spotted a mountain goat on the westside of the blues. Never saw one in the blues before.

My dad was lion hunting one winter in the Snoqualmie tree farm... the dogs had a cat treed (he thought) and he went in.. they were in the forest, but there were some huge slabs of rock around and as he moved around one to "see" the lion, he comes face to face with a great Billy... the dogs had this billy bayed up on a rock... never really had the chance before that, or need I guess, to break them off goats! he got some great pics, but they are all hard copy film pics, I dont have any.

saw 3 seperate goats last fall. I know that at least 2 have been hanging out for a few years.

Makes it fun when you always have smething to look at :)
