Mountain goat removal in Olympic National Park

[slick]

If the "1000+ applications" rumor above is true, then yeah, you're almost certainly not getting selected. If your team doesn't have at least 1 expert climber, you're probably not getting selected either.

I doubt expert climbing is required but I would guess the familiarity with ropes and technical climbing gear would be useful.

I think you’re exaggerating their preference of that. If I’m remembering right you didn’t have to salvage all the meat and such, so if a downed goat requires ropes to get to there is no way I’m taking the time to traverse above it, build an anchor, rap down to it, and then haul it back up. If it’s in an area requiring that- leave it lay.

You betch'r ass you are rappelling to any goat my fatass shoots but can't climb to. Then you gotta drag it back to me so I can touch it, and blow up my influencer account.

Just make sure all your brand new brand name gear can be seen and identified easily. Clothing tag removal optional. Always better to be able to say “new with tags” when you sell it after.

Appreciate the pro-tip

But definitely only wear solids. I’d rap to a goat for you- part of what makes it spicy. Although if you had to rap to every goat you’d be doing more anchor building than hunting

I'm guessing we will hear sometime this week. Good luck everyone!

Bring plenty of water, then goats love to drink your urine. You can bait em right in for some good old fashioned mineral water then double tap to the head with a suppressed 9mm.

Didn't know that about mountain goats, but did have a marmot literally pop out form behind a rock on the summit of Mt. Meeker in RMNP once and literally drink from the puddle forming as my climbing partner was taking a leak.

Same to you man! Been waiting on this one just like a normal tag application so like folks mentioned, a large chunk of vacation time is riding on this week's info.

The doctor seems to have her stuff together judging by the emails I have received. Educated guess it will be this week instead of Monday.

It's a very detail driven project, I'm not at all surprised that June 1st means June 1st.

I hope you have a Tikka otherwise you could be torched for negligence?
