My wife and I were driving from New Meadows, ID to Riggins, ID yesterday along the Little Salmon River on US-95. On the drive we noticed what we thought was a mountain goat. I've never seen a mtn goat outside of what I've seen in magazines and the last picture sure as hell looks like one, but the other two goats dont seem to fit the profile. Which makes me assume that they are all regular goats.


Check out the following pictures and let me know what you guys think.

I know I can't see the pictures.

I like mountain goats.

That is an area of Idaho that they hunt mountain goats.

all regular

Ok, after copying and pasting the url, yeah, those are regular goats.

Drats, I wanted some mountain goat pictures.

Mountain goats are pretty amazing animals to say the least. It's crazy how they get themselves into some places.

You linked the whole page. You have to link the image. Right click the picture and copy the image location.

Or change your (img) tags to (url) and link the whole page.

"Hey, what's a mountain goat doing way up here in these clouds?"

Hey, are any of those for rent?

Thanks a lot for the help guys. I thought they looked out of place and was less sure after the pictures.
