Lol mega fauna what year is it?!?? The moose came from the north Cascades. I’m starting to understand you’re likely a child or not far off, so I’m gonna leave this as my last comment.

There is a huge difference between introducing goats in the 20’s for hunting, and moose spreading naturally. We didn’t fly in moose. And yes, if it affects the natural environment or humans, get them out.

Tell that to Australia. And the goats killed a guy, and hurt a bunch more. They were introduced and not native.

I live in Olympic National Forest, I often go off trail for hiking. I have encountered lot of animals, sometimes within feet, bears, coyotes, elk, goats, and a cougar eating salmon once, that was mad as hell, one of the few times I felt in danger. It’s fairly safe, all the tracking gps stuff people suggested is a great idea, people go missing here all the time. I will say the two things I won’t be caught without are a good first aid kit, with a tourniquet, and a big bottle of Benadryl. I can’t stress enough how important it is! I saved my life with it once after breaking a log walking on it, and ground wasps swarmed me, after 100+ stings and bites, running for a mile at least, that Benadryl came in clutch. I can think of 4 times that I have been swarmed, they are aggressive here. Be careful!

Yeah we got rid of the goats a couple of years ago. Flew them out with helicopters, I haven’t seen one in ages now, although I’m sure there a few still out there.
