Would anybody have any input as to why the Chalk Creek/Kamas, Uintas mountain goat unit has a tag cut proposal from 12 to 3 tags?
Rumor has it it is because too many nanny and kids have been shot in previous years depleting the herd. That's the rumor at least. A good friend heard from the biologist that covers those areas.Would anybody have any input as to why the Chalk Creek/Kamas, Uintas mountain goat unit has a tag cut proposal from 12 to 3 tags?
There would also be some ground checking going on and that’s never good for anyone involved. Hunters, goats and future hunters. Tags are so limited as it is. I doubt killing nanny’s is the main reason for the recent herd decline.I feel that it should be Billy's only with a fine of 250$ or so for harvesting nanny and kids. It would force some to make sure it's a billy before squeezing.
Goat population dynamics are different than than deer and elk.There would also be some ground checking going on and that’s never good for anyone involved. Hunters, goats and future hunters. Tags are so limited as it is. I doubt killing nanny’s is the main reason for the recent herd decline.
As far as the kid harvests go. No one should ever be shooting those. I haven’t seen one killed yet, I don’t think it happens very often. If it does, please enlighten us
