That’s quite an obituary: death by goat.

This is another example of unbalanced reporting. How experienced was the goat?
To: marktwain
Are you telling me a park ranger, on duty or not, but out in the wilderness is not armed? Wow.
I've been to that area around Port Angeles...it is WILD. Sasquatch lives there. We are armed in case we meet him and he's having a bad hair day.

Freepers please note: shooing away an aggressive, horned, wild animal in a park may not be a good idea.
To: marktwain
So his goat got him as opposed to him getting someone’s goat?

I’ve hiked Klahhane Ridge in the fall and a homocidal goat was the last thing on my mind. Walking off a cliff in the fog was.

Beautiful area! The mountains seem to loom out of nowhere. When things like this happen in the fall it’s a sure sign it’s gonna be a long, cold winter. ; )

150 to 300 pounds that can run straight up a mountain . . . with horns.
To: marktwain
When unarmed and faced with a large horned animal, cautious strategic retreat is a good plan.

He may have been an experienced hiker, but he was a total newbie when it came to "Goat Wrangling."
Seriously though, most people don't realize that these critters in the woods are wild animals (even the prey species), and they WILL kill a human when threatened. Just because they're prey to predators doesn't mean they'll just lay down and die.

"Then Boardman, an experienced hiker, tried to carefully shoo the ram away." Right there's the problem. He forgot his "t".

Isn’t there a federal law that prohibits guests from carrying firearms in National Parks? Or did that get overturned?
