Bridger goat survey 2019

[Hunter&Huntress]

This weekend my wife, sister in law, and I were able to help with the Rocky Mountain Goat Alliance and FWP with their survey in the Bridger Mountains. We ended up seeing 18 goats total. The views were incredible and helping was a great experience.

Looks like above the ski hill. South of Ross pass but looking north. My better half was running in that area Saturday and saw many goat surveyors. Will be interesting to see the results. Thanks for helping them out.

You are correct greenhorn.

Did you see the other goat watchers in Truman Gulch? I spotted the lady in white walking through the treeline and called for a spotter to confirm it was a goat until I saw purple legs following.

It was a good hike and beautiful views up there. We ended our day with a total of ten goats. I'm guessing we saw some of the same ones. The wildflowers were gorgeous and the thunderstorm was exciting, but I bet it was sketchier for you guys on the crest.

We never did see you guys. We saw the people north of us.

I never got a true count but I think there was close to 30 people total.

Thanks for getting out! I joined the goat alliance early this spring and was hoping to make it out. Next year I will make it happen, looks like a great time.

Looks like a beautiful spot to put up your tent. Surprised that you were able to find flat ground among all those rocks.

I hope you do get to go next year. It was an awesome experience and we are planning on doing it again.

Those spots are far and few between up there.

That’s awesome! If I lived up there I would definitely be involved. Had a chance to meet Pete head of the Goat Alliance the other day. Super nice guy that is doing good things. A lot people wanna say younger generation is doing nothing but helping themselves. Pete founded the Goat Alliance in his 20s.

I talked to pete last week he said they had a amazing count. Last year they counted 76 or something close to that. At that time that was a record count and this year was over 120?! Lots of nannies and kids as well which is great to hear. Cool projects that the RMGA puts on for sure.
