FERAL GOAT
THE FERAL GOAT
March to November: El Carrizal La Pampa
The feral goat is the domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) once it has become established in the wild. Feral goats occur in Argentina, and when they reach large populations they become an invasive species. This can have serious negative effects, such as removing native scrub, trees and other vegetation. However, in other circumstances they may become a natural component of the habitat, even replacing locally extinct wild goats. Feral goats are sometimes used for conservation grazing to control the spread of undesirable scrub or weeds in open natural habitats such as chalk grassland and heathland. They make a great species to hunt with a variety of hunts available.
