So there's a serious problem with the Mountain Goat distribution on SRP currently. I was trying to hunt some of them today, and the locations where they can be found are really weird. You currently find them a lot in areas that are too low in elevation and too densely forested to be good Mountain Goat habitat, while many areas that are at or above the treeline (where Mountain Goats would realistically be found) have zero Mountain Goats whatsoever. It simply doesn't make sense the way it is currently. Also, without drink zones, they are nearly impossible to hunt in these areas, which makes going after them extremely frustrating and simply not worth it. I played for a couple hours and only managed to kill a few of them. This NEEDS to change, because the way it is now, hunting them just feels unnecessarily difficult for no good reason.
Below, I have made a special map of the areas where I think Mountain Goats should (realistically speaking) be found on SRP. The areas highlighted in red are the areas that should have Mountain Goat zones. Everywhere else is either too low or too forested, or both. I also recommend bringing back drink zones for them on this map, because there are many lakes and mountain ponds on SRP that would realistically be used as water sources for thirsty Mountain Goats, and all animals need to drink water, especially in the heat of summertime which is when SRP seems to be set. Maybe have them drink at the same time that Bison do currently since they are in completely different parts of the map and therefore they would not be overcrowding the same drink zones.
I hope this awesome species will get the overhaul that it desperately needs! This would make SRP a much more enjoyable map to hunt on in my opinion.
