After a long scary slippery sneak to get up close enough to get some good shots of these Goats I finally get to where I wanted to be and just start shooting as quick as I can, before they all figure out I am near and bolt. All of the sudden one goat jumps in the air and they all take off but one still just laying there, I move a little closer and the Goat still has not moved. I figure the goat is dead so I get my phone out to call one of the F&G officers I know and the first one I try is Scott White, well he doesnt answer so I leave a message and get ready to try another one, I am no more than 7 or 8 yards from this Goat and I start to dial another one and the Goat lifts his head(scared the S#@! out of me cuz i think it is dead for sure) looks at me just like a deer in the Headlights.(kinda like waking your kid up in the morning after a long night) This Goat had to have been Deaf or in a major deep sleep!
Here is another pic of the Goats that left their lil Buddy behind.
I was only about a mile or two up the Little Cottonwood Canyon,and I hiked for about a Hour is all. It is not very far up the Hill, just all cliffs with moss on them so it is pretty slow going.
That is a very cool story and would scare the crud out of ya for sure! Cool!
Those sure are some beautiful pictures.
Amazing how those critters live in such harsh enviroments
