True since elk are larger but I have seen quite a few dark brown mule deer that made me do a double take.

The public transit on the island is free to ride in case that is an option. I grew up there.

And they can run a hell of a lot faster than people think if sufficiently motivated.

I took some pics of one in the North Cascades this summer at Cutthroat Lake. Rangers were fairly surprised it had come down that far.

As an easy sider it's crazy that moose aren't on the west side, we don't have a ton over here but it not uncommon too see one or a group of them

Evidence that mountain goats are a native species includes the following facts:
An early report by John Dunn, published in 1844, stated that "The natives [of the area] manufacture some of their blankets from the wool of the wild goat; which is done with great neatness."
John Fannin and George Bird Grinnell reported in the February 13, 1890 edition of Forest and Stream in an article entitled "Range of the White Goat" that mountain goats were "abundant on the Olympian Range mountains."
A press expedition reported, in the July 16, 1890 edition of the Seattle Press, the sighting of a lone goat in the Olympic mountains.
Another expedition (reported in the April 1896 National Geographic) claimed that mountain goats were present.
In the July 18, 1917 edition of the Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, Albert B. Reagan, Ph.D. (an ethnologist), reported identifying bones of mountain goats in the area. Most, but not all, of the goat bones had been formed into spoons.
These reports--all written before the release of a few goats in the 1920's--are substantial evidence that mountain goats are native to the ONP and an important part of the local ecology.

It's way more than a suspicion, friend.

Fighting fascism and nazis was considered patriotic in the past. Unfortunately, now we have to do it again to stop these domestic terrorists.

Great question - most likely bc the park did not like the headache of managing a thriving population

I am aware that Native Americans reported seeing goats in the Olympics before white people arrived.

Those goats are invasive. Were you unaware?
