If ya can see em-
LMFAO-
Anyhow here is a pick down on the coast where these can be seen all the time...They just hangout up on the cliffs all day.....

Unfortunately as I was driving past-I didn't have my big zoom lense-So this is the best I could manage given my setup at the time...

There is the one centered-And two pictured to far left of screen about same height as the firat one-


Three more are to far right just out of this shot---But I took another shot that shows them---Just didn't turn out good enough to post is all-

So there was actually 6 of them all-together
 
Your so lucky. All I have is whitetail deer eating all around my house.:nilly:
 
Man, I bet those would taste nice. ;P JK.

I remember my AP Env. Science teacher went on a rant about how much we're hurting many of the mountain goat species.

Apparently the females need to consume the wildflowers at the bottom of the mountain for healthy placentas, except they get spooked by humans and they end up having weak offspring.

send that teacher up here-we'll show them differently....

You are also right on the flowers-
Except atleast in my area-It's not uncommon to see one hand feeding these guys.....It becomes very populated in this area when summer hits-
This is the main area for the crazies that actually try to surf and do all the water activities like para sailing and what not...Also very popular spot for rock climers as well-So they are use to human population in this area....Every now and then one will get spooked and fall to the roadway-But not very often at all-It's amazing to watch these guys traverse the mountains......especially at full running speeds....

Anyhow.......
 
Hmmm.... I was thinking that they would be mighty tasty. Being the hunter that I am. I haven't had the chance to hunt wild goat.
