I just read the new issue of Montana Outdoors. A self proclaimed "Biologist" from Missoula wrote a letter to the magazine stressing his concern that "Extreme snowmobiling and highmarking" is threatening mountain goat habitat and that state and federal biologists should take steps to prohibit snowmobiling within a half mile of thoses areas. He signed the article Greg Munther, PH.D. Do you suppose Mr. PH.D. Has ever noticed wildlife tracks or actually seen deer and moose walking down a snowmobile trail allowing them to conserve energy during heavy snow periods? Typical tree hugger. Ignor the good , exploit the bad. I don't have to guess who he's voting for.
I just read something interesting

goats
Thought I seen a couple but they turned out to be 09 RMK 800's
Seriously never seen one though.

sounds like one of malloys buddies,
never seen one either, when the snow gets that deep they can't get to feed so they go lower like everyone else

Never seen a Mountain Goat while riding. But I did see a black midget on an Arctic Cat once. Tell Mr. PhD to leave us alone. And besides that, his Toyota Prius couldn't make it up the pass in winter to even check on the MTN Goats!

i seen deer poaching tracks. i guess we arent helping them by packing the snow down.
To Mr Phd. I say.....
"You say tomato.....I say F.U.!!!"
"You say tomato.....I say F.U.!!!"
I would try to figure out a way to make him prove his claim legally. If it is threatening the habitat, WHERE is the proof? If it was a scientific study, then there must be scientific data in order to reach a conclusion...
Supena (sp) him (or his information) and lets just see what he comes up with
These guys need to be put in their place in a LEGAL fashion or they'll just keep making up bigger stories.
You could claim perjury, except that he wasn't under oath when he made the statement (d@m#it)

Nope, only seen Mountain Max's up that high ~ I think they are in the Goat family though
Yes I have seen goats.On a wind blown ridge last year and we were close or we'd have never seen them. They did not run away but slowly walk higher up the ridge. About ten years back we had one of those biologists tell us that a goats heart rate will increase from a snowmobile 2 miles away. We said never seen goats before and he says you gotta be close to see them. When asked how he seen them, he replied in a chopper. He would not comment on what the poor goats heart rate did with a chopper 300ft away was. Just another excuse to ban snowmobiling.
