Mountain Goats: Stay 150 Feet Away | Boise News

Mountain goats in Utah are becoming more territorial this summer as they form nursery herds with their young—both males and females have horns and can charge if provoked. Wildlife officials urge hikers to stay at least 150 feet away, avoid feeding them, keep dogs leashed, and be extra cautious during dawn and dusk when goats are most active. Despite a major wildfire in the Tushar Mountains, goat populations remain healthy—and may even benefit from the new open terrain. Respect their space for your safety and theirs.
