Awesome news! Myself and others have been working hard with WDFW and Rocky Mountain Goat Alliance (http://www.goatalliance.org/ - become a member if you're not already) to help increase tag numbers in Washington state. WDFW has actually been very responsive and seems to be craving organized volunteer help. Early indications are that the highest likelihood of new tags in the near future are in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness and we have a volunteer goat count set up for the weekend of August 15-17. The biologist's we've been talking to say that with a good goat count, we may see additional tags (yes plural!) as early as next year!

More info on the weekend can be found here: http://www.goatalliance.org/alpine-lakes-wilderness-summer-project/

If you want to help, please comment at the bottom of the page so we can get an early indication of how many people we are expecting and start figuring out organizational efforts. RMGA is already doing a ton for goat management in WA and other states throughout the west. If you're not a member already, please sign up right now, your $35 annual fee will start making a difference immediately!!!

I'm bummed, after just getting back from a fly fishing trip in BC I got an email announcing due to fire danger and trail closures the goat count is off til probably next summer.

yeah, sorry guys...the usfs closed the majority of the trails in our core survey area. The bio felt like we would not be able to get the info we needed, so we have decided to try again earlier in the summer next summer. Sorry guys, but thanks for the interest.
