At approximately 12:15 pm on Thursday, November 20, 2008, the Timberlake Fire Protection District responded to a reported deer that had broken a window and was possibly in an occupied home at 32201 N. Sahara Road in Athol. We arrived to find the homeowner unharmed and a mountain goat on the back porch. The goat had ripped off the screen and was charging the glass door, breaking the outer pane of glass, possibly angry from seeing its own reflection in the glass. The goat was calm while we were on scene and stood on the back porch, but would not leave. Fish and Game was called to assist. A Kootenai County Sheriff Deputy also assisted, he cracked open the sliding door and slightly nudged the goat from inside the home with a stick, which persuaded the goat to wander back into the adjacent woods.
