I recently relocated back to MT from Ohio, just finished with the military, and was excited to get out and see some wildlife again. Took a quick trip into the Bridgers to watch goats for a couple hours, and wanted to share some of the pics from the trip since I found some (very common to see in the area I was located). Nice to see lots of goat kids running around.
This is a group heading straight up the cliff, the kid was amazing to watch climb.
Here's a loner I assumed was a billy, tried to get closer over the top but it was too steep.
On the way up found a nice goat track.
From the top.
Once on top I got over a larger group and snuck down the shale to grab this with my SLR, 300mm lens, my favorite from the trip just because it shows how the terrain can make an approach possible across an open mountain face.
This last one is using my phone through some 10x Nikon Monarchs, thus the "amazing" quality. Still neat to get a better closeup, even distorted through the heat waves.
Lesson learned - bring a tripod! Good to get in the steep hills after a summer of hauling salt in Ohio to train, much different.
