BMart Report post Posted December 31, 2015 Has anyone ever seen a wild goat before? Like a milk goat you would see at a petting zoo? I found some today on state land and wondered if they were legal to hunt like a feral hog would be? They were way up high on a rocky mountain top in an area that is fairly far from a ranch or house of any kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Browns Report post Posted December 31, 2015 Call the local warden to find out if it's ok to shoot them. If a local rancher has the grazing right's you are not allowed to shoot them. If they are Farrel you are good to go. I would be happy to join you:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMart Report post Posted December 31, 2015 I thought they may belong to someone and they will be easy to find again so I left the alone today. I was going to call the warden but wanted to see if anyone else had any experience with this. The place I saw them just was not in an area that I figured they would be if someone actually owned them. There is no way a horse could get anywhere close to herd them. They were in a place I'm not even sure if I could get to them if I shot one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longshooter Report post Posted December 31, 2015 There used to be a decent herd of them in the McDowell's in the mid to late 80's we used to hunt. Game and fish did not have a problem since they were feral. They are fun to chase with a bow . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelhead Report post Posted January 1, 2016 AZGF will want to know about ANY feral goats or sheep especially if they are in or near bighorn habitat. The Silverbell herd mentioned is the reason why. MAKE THE CALL! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.270 Report post Posted January 1, 2016 George Johnson. What a piece o' work. He wanted some people on the little Colorado above Eagar to sell their land to him. When they wouldn't he bought below them and dammed the river to flood em out. Never mind that all the water he was stopping belonged to farmers below there. He ended paying a fine of over $30 million for that, the goats, tearing up Indian ruins, dumping raw sewage in a wash in QC and a buncha other garbage.
