They if any won't be hard to find in the burn they let get away.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I think it was 2023, they didn't even find any. The available goat tags this year is quite sad.

If I am not up at my cabin working on projects, this would be a nice excuse to get out for a weekend. Thanks for sharing Josh

They should just wait until Nov/dec when the snow and rut push most to the lake. Do counts then

They did them for mule deer too. Very informative!

Well why not the fly up lake and take pictures on both sides then count the goats. I saw 2 big billy goats 100 yards from the Columbia River years ago then they vanished. A long ways away from their normal home.
