We’ve got a herd of mountain goats in northern Utah that are struggling (Willard) that Utah has taken from and transplanted elsewhere on several occasions. Utah brings in millions of dollars.....wait that’s SFW, why isn’t utah making an effort to go get these mountain goats that are gonna be killed and gunned down by helicopter in Wyoming just across the border?
Come on SFW,DWR! Go get some goats and bring em here!
 
That's been an extremely hot topic on social media, lots of seriously irate people over this and rightfully so.

My thoughts on it are this-
I completely understand why they want them off that particular range.
They were non native and just moved in there naturally.

People wonder why they don't open it up to hunting opportunities?
Because that would take far too much time waiting for them all to be harvested and they would end up flying in there anyway to remove the ones that got missed.

I am with BillyBoB on this one and would question why they weren't transplanted at the expense of a state that wants them.
 
I think they should have transplanted them here in Wyoming or moved the bighorns sounds like the goats do better in that area than the sheep do, Tetons look more goaty anyway .
