[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1875664, member: 87243"] Better than what they did here in Wyoming, the feds came in and shot them down from choppers and left them, with zero opportunity for the public to harvest the animals. I have wanted a mountain goat tag for years as well, but Wyoming draw odds range from about .01% - .04% for residents, with no preference point accumulation. What they are doing here might not be perfect, but it's an improvement. I wish they would have done this instead in Wyoming. My group is applying for it because if we get selected, at least we know our group will for sure harvest the meat and utilize the resources, and it will be a 10 day pack trip hunt 15+ miles back into the wilderness in absolutely beautiful territory. The only thing different from any other mountain goat hunt, will be the legal quantity of animals that can be taken. And the animals won't go to waste like what they did in my home state. I feel part of the reason they are spending the extra time and money to offer it to the public instead of just gunning them down on their own is because of the uproar that the sportsman of Wyoming (and likely elswhere) made about them wasting the resources in our states National Park. There was opportunity there for absolutely fantastic hunting adventures for the public, that was simply pushed aside in the name of efficiency. This way takes more effort on the hands of the NPS, and allows opportunity for sportsman. If you want your chance to harvest a mountain goat, here is your special hunt, right in your face, apply for it. It's no different than applying for any other tag. Want to hunt? Apply. And whats more, is it is free, no license fee or $20,000 guide fee like a BC goat hunt. If you want to voice your concerns about how the program is being conducted, use your rights and write a letter or make a phone call to National Park Services. Voicing your concerns on this forum, while it may make one feel better, does absolutely zero to contribute to your cause. I know I wrote a letter and made several phone calls to different agencies and Government offices about what they did in Wyoming, and while I don't feel like my efforts alone made the difference, I feel I am seeing the cumulative affect of the publics voice with my opportunity to do this. I wanted it, now I got it. So I am absolutely taking this opportunity. I hope I get the chance to see some good people on the mountain. [/QUOTE]
