Today I went to put in for Moose, Sheep and Goat and was extremely disappointed to find that HD 131, in addition to HD's 132, 134, 141, 414 and 442, are now closed to goat hunting. Clearly I did not pay close enough attention to FWP's proposed changes.
I am aware of the history of goat hunting in the Bitterroot and Crazy Mountains and I am curious about FWP's management plan in these newly closed HD's and what prompted the closures. I personally have seen a decent number of goats in the Missions this year.
This change is a long time coming - "In all hunting districts in Regions 1, 2 and 4 it is illegal to take a female mountain goat accompanying a kid or a female mountain goat in a group that contains one or more kids." I propose a longer wait period for folks that kill a nanny.
Any further info or thoughts? BuzzH?
Thanks,
