Hunters Killing Goats in Grand Teton Park at Alarming Rate!

Got to love the idiots in the mainstream media!

Hunters kill more Grand Teton mountain goats than expected

Hunters have killed more mountain goats in Grand Teton National Park than expected. The National Park Service began allowing hunters to pursue mountain goats this year in an effort to rid the park of the nonnative species. Biologists warn the mountain goats could spread disease to native bighorn...

And a link to the article that inspired the dingleberries at NBC to report such a story, which was then dutifully picked up by and spread to the rest of the world by the clowns at the Associated Press. Dandy!

Teton goats get got for the good of sheep

Teton Valley, Idaho, resident and archery hunter Mark Eagan put in nearly 60 miles traipsing through the Tetons this summer scouting for a quarry he would have the opportunity to

The alternative.

“A final version of a federal planning document that would authorize the National Park Service to relocate mountain goats away from their Tetons haunts and shoot them from aircraft is due out this week”

Nice spin by the ever ignorant haters. The line about shooting just to see them tumble is so misleading.

My hunch is Heidi wrote this story. She is dumber than a post, but for some reason NBC Montana keeps her on the payroll.

The biggest ignorant mistake is where NBC claims they are being hunted in the Park, and they are not. Fake phony news. Comprehension by these so called journalist is abysmal.

Yeah, no kidding. It’s like they’re painting it as blatant illegal activity. Stuff like this makes my blood boil.

On a side note, I rather enjoyed listening to Trump unload both barrels on Shifty and the MSM clowns yesterday.

They say this is a perfect conversation. Stable geniuses discussing the goat issue in GTNP. Try to stay on topic, Miller.

No third grade jokes from you about what the dishonest and corrupt Associated Press did to hunters when they put out this pile on their news feed, Craig?

Billings Gazette picked it up too.

The media rarely reports accurately.

The media rarely reports accurately.

Funny how it's so often inaccurate in a certain direction though.

 

[MTGomer]

I’m sure this was just an oversight and the person who wrote it didn’t know damn well what they were doing.

AP Correction
The Associated Press originally reported erroneously that mountain goat hunting took place in Grand Teton National Park. The hunting occurred near but not within the park. The story has been corrected to reflect this.

Have any of you guys ever tried to contact the reporter to correct or help him/her understand a bit better? You might actually be surprised when you do it.

Journo's are no longer or are far fewer to find - objective.

Great point...I get several calls a year by various reporters on issues. Once they realize you’re a reliable source that has the facts straight, they call more often. I have also called and explained story inaccuracies with favorable results.

To some, a mistake or lack of understanding always turns into a conspiracy.

As to the article, it should come as no surprise that hunts designed to eliminate a species, are going to find negative press. It’s tough to reconcile the argument of the hunter/conservationist on one hand, then using those same hunter/conservationist to wipe out goats on the other.

Anyone with 2 firing brain cells could see this coming from a couple miles away.

Luckily they didn’t make the Teton goat hunt unlimited, success would go way down.
