1 ROCKY MOUNTAIN GOATS: Table of Contents Overview Life history Distribution Management Statistical Reports Rocky mountain goat herd composition Rocky mountain goat season harvest
2 Overview Rocky Mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) are native only to the rugged mountains of western North America. The presence of mountain goats in Oregon prior to European settlement is supported by archeological evidence in Hells Canyon and Wildcat Canyon, 30 miles east of The Dalles. Rocky Mountain goats were apparently extirpated from Oregon prior to, or soon after, European settlement. Life History Mountain goat pelage is comprised of white wool and white guard hairs. Their hooves have cushion-like pads surrounded by a hard shell, allowing a grip on smooth rock surfaces. During summer months females molt about a month later than males, which is useful in determining sex of adults. Animals will often rub against obstacles, leaving clumps of discarded wool on shrubs and trees. Rocky Mountain Goats Age can be determined by counting horn rings as with bighorn sheep. The first ring is formed during the second winter at 22 months of age. Black glands behind the horns are used for marking territory during the rut by rubbing brush. Females can normally breed at 2 ½ years of age, usually producing a single kid, although twins are not uncommon. Breeding takes place from early November to mid-december. Kids are born approximately 7 months later during late May or early June. Cougar and golden eagles are the most significant predators of mountain goats. Golden eagles take newborn kids and sometimes knock young sheep from cliffs. Accidental death is also a significant mortality factor. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 3406 Cherry Ave NE Salem, OR Diet varies among populations according to the geographical location and plant availability. Grasses, shrubs, and mosses or lichens are consumed. Salt licks are used extensively during the summer. Distribution The Elkhorn Mountains herd is found from Anthony Lakes on the northwest end to Marble Creek, going southeast. Mountain goats from the Elkhorn herd have dispersed to locations to the west such as Indian Rock, Vinegar Hill, Dixie Mountain, Cable Creek, and the Strawberry Mountains. 127
3 In the Wallowa Mountains, the highest densities of mountain goats are found along the Hurwal and Hurricane Divides. Small satellite populations occur in the Cusick Mountain and McCubbin Basin areas. Mountain Goats also are found in the Hat Point area of the Snake River Unit. All populations are the result of reintroduction efforts by ODFW. base of Joseph Mountain. This population increased until 1965 when hunting seasons started. They were hunted through 1968 when low populations resulted in termination of hunting. Supplemental transplants from Misty Fjord, Alaska and Olympic National Park, Washington from resulted in improved kid survival and an increasing population. Management Inventory and composition counts of mountain goats are conducted by fixed-wing aircraft and ground counts. Groundwork takes place during August, while flights are completed in September. Counts from the air classify animals as adult and kid, while ground surveys allow detailed observation to determine sex. Transplant History Transplants have been made to the Wallowa Mountains, Elkhorn Mountains, Snake River unit, and the Columbia River Gorge. Three transplants (Wallowa and Elkhorn Mountains and Snake River unit) successfully established mountain goat herds while the Columbia River Gorge attempt failed. In 2003, the populations estimate was 230 in the Wallowa Mountains herd, 150 in the Elkhorn Mountains herd, and about 75 additional Mountain Goats in other herd ranges. The Elkhorn herd began with transplants from three locations: Northfork Clearwater, Idaho; Olympic National Park, WA; and Misty Fjord Alaska, during , totaling 21 animals. Transplanting from several locations has insured good genetic diversity. Hunting was resumed in the Wallowa and Elkhorn Mountains in 1997 with very conservative seasons of one tag for each area. Mandatory identification sessions with biologists help hunters with the difficult task of identifying male goats in the field. Male-only harvest is important for retention of social structure of populations. Hunters are also required to check in after harvesting an animal so that biological information can be obtained. The Bighorn Sheep Management Plan was revised in 2003 to include a Rocky Mountain Goat chapter and is now called the Bighorn Sheep and Rocky Mountain Goat Management Plan. Mountain goats were reintroduced to the Wallowa Mountains in 1950 when 5 animals from the Chopaka Mountains in Washington were released at the 128
