I Have A Cool Job #1 "Mountain Goats"

My job takes me to some awesome places getting to do some cool things. Last September I got the opportunity to participate in a goat capture near Ketchikan.
As you can see the goats are darted with the help of a helicopter. I know, I get to fly in a helicopter, sweet.

Another shot of the helicopter in action. I'[ve climbed enough mountains looking for animals to really appreciate a 5 minute helicopter ride to the top.

Here's a goat after we're done with it, all blinged out.

Here's a shot of a couple goats in their natural habitat. Say, what do you think is the prevailing wind direction here?
