Jamie and I had slept maybe three hours. The night before, after his shift at the animal hospital at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, Jamie drove 350 miles west over the Cascade mountains. He and his German Shepherd mutt, Briar, got to my apartment in Marblemount a little after midnight.Earlier in the week, Jamie's colleague had sent him an e-mail with the subject line “photos of hermaphrodite goat.” According to the GPS coordinates transmitted from the goat's collar, the mountain goat in question was somewhere out in the hills 20 miles due south from my apartment, and we were going to go find her.Jamie and I met a decade earlier on a women's hockey team in Moscow, Idaho, when I was a grad student and he was an undergrad. Jamie was eighteen then, and went by a different name. Both Jamie and I had joined the women's hockey team having never played the sport before. I had grown up roller blading and playing street hockey, and Jamie had played soccer all his life. Both of us were drawn to hockey in hopes that we might meet other butches. The previous summer, the woman I'd been seeing told me that dating me had been an experiment, that she was only into men, and I spent the rest of the summer renting 5 for $5 MadMen DVDs, and lying on the low pile carpet of my apartment, feeling like a cliché. On the ice, Jamie and I were both fast skaters, good puck handlers, and terrible at shooting. We became fast friends.When we met, Jamie was a first-year pre-vet student. But by the time Jamie came to visit me in Marblemount, he was in his final year of vet school. By age twenty-five, he had already earned a degree in wildlife ecology and was about to become a doctor of veterinary medicine. He had served for five summers as the field technician for a bighorn sheep pneumonia project and volunteered as a part of a pygmy rabbit recovery program, a beaver relocation project, and a spotted owl survey team. For his latest wild animal gig, he had volunteered as part of the veterinary team with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's multi-million-dollar mountain goat translocation project. The goal of the project was to capture and translocate at least 50% of the more than 700 goats on the Olympic Peninsula, and then lethally remove the remaining goats—those that proved too elusive to capture.According to the National Park Service, the mountain goats on the Olympic Peninsula had overstayed their welcome. Not only were they nonnative to that mountain range—they were introduced in the 1920s by a game hunting franchise before the national park designation—but, because of an increase in recreational tourism to the National Park, the opportunities for goat–human interactions were frequent, and, in 2010, one particularly aggressive goat fatally gored a backpacker. This incident, coupled with the Olympic goat's preference for chomping a special native grass endemic to the Peninsula, had tainted the pu","PeriodicalId":53750,"journal":{"name":"Fourth Genre-Explorations in Nonfiction","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134942341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
