mountain goat rangers get stuck

A mountain goat that fatally gored a hiker, then stood across man and stared at people seeking help, had shown aggressive behavior some time ago, Olympic National Park officials said Monday.

Robert Boardman, 63, of Port Angeles, died Saturday after he was attacked by the goat while hiking in regards to the subalpine Switchback Trail neighborhood. The trail is liked residents of nearby Port Angeles, basically about 85 miles west of Seattle.

Park rangers later found the goat, observed blood into it and shot the dog.

Rangers happen to have been tracking the goat as well as others for the past four years for the reason that have followed people or approached hikers without backing down, said park spokeswoman Barb Maynes.
