All of these fat boy heroes on social media throwing a fit about “hunters should have tags for these goats”, have 0 concept of the terrain. You would need to be a reasonably skilled alpinists to get to these goats in the Tetons. Depending on the time of year, An axe and crampons and probably prepared to build your own anchors and do some rappelling depending on where you end up. Definitely some 5th class climbing, possibly some mandatory more technical climbing. If they issued a tag for every goat every year, I think folks would still be trying to hunt out them 10 years down the road. The exception might be if hunters shot them with rifles from longer distances and didn’t attempt to recover them, but that’s one step removed from shooting them from a helicopter.
I don’t know. I just don’t see a reason to throw a temper tantrum over this and hunters complaining to other hunters definitely does very little. If people are so upset, they should be lobbying the NPS to allow more hunting in general. That might actually accomplish something. Between the pissed off, imaginary goat hunters and the goddamned CWD deniers, it’s getting hard to have rational discourse out there on the hunting related inter webs.
