Jefferson Rocky Mountain goats thriving (AP) T he populatio n o f R ocky M o u n tain g o ats on M ount Jefferson is growing, but hunters, hikers and m ountain climbers are not likely to encoun ter the high-climbing animal. “It’s big country and there are not many goats, so they are hard to find,” said state wildEfe biolo gist Corey Heath. T he anim als w ere rein tro duced to the area abo u t two years ago. H eath said about 45 o f the goats are roaming the high coun try around Oregon’s second-tall est mountain, a 10,495-foot vol cano 50 m iles n o rth w e st o f Bend. The animals are returning to the m ountain after an absence o f about 150 years. H alf o f the m ountain is on the Warm Springs Indian Res ervation, and the Confederated Tribes o f Warm Springs teamed up with the Oregon Departm ent o f Fish and WildEfe for the July 2010 release o f 45 goats. The animals were set free on a remote portion o f the 640,000- acre reservation. The Rocky Mountain goat is culturaUy significant to the tribes as a source for both spirituaEty and food, said Clay PenhoUow, Rocky Mountain Goat. The population o f Rocky Mountain goats dropped as the number o f settlers grew in Central Oregon in the 1800s a spokesman for the tribes. “It is im portant to have them back here,” he said. T h e p o p u latio n o f R ocky Mountain goats dropped as the num ber o f settlers grew in Cen tral Oregon in the 1800s, Heath said. T h e species was all b u t gone by the 1850s, in part be cause o f overhunting. T he state began m ountain goat réintroduction in the 1950s by releasing five o f the animals — captured from northern Wash ington — to the WaEowa Moun tains in Eastern Oregon. N ow E astern O regon is a stronghold for mountain goats. Statewide, there are about 800 o f the animals, about half o f those in the Elkhorn range. The M ount Jefferson goats Were lured into traps by state scientists using salt Ecks in the Elkhorn range in 2010. S h o ttly after th e release, three o f the m ountain goats died, according to the state. But there d o n ’t appear to be any other deaths, and some o f the surviving goats reportedly now have kids in tow. Heath said efforts to find and cou n t the goats last sum m er proved difficult, with state sci entists only tracking three ani mals. Airborne expeditions were m ore successful and during a flight last month, scientists found all nine o f the goats carrying V H F radio collars. A n o th e r seven goats are being tracked through GPS coUars. The state is considering re leasing 20 more goats on M ount Jefferson this summer, accord ing to Steven George, a state wildEfe biologist. I f th e goat pop u latio n on M ount Jefferson passes 50 and stays above that number for five years, there could be tribal hunts for file mountain goats on the reservation, state scientists have said.
