%X A remotely fired net-gun was used at a waterhole for capturing wild goats and urial in an area where helicopters could not be used. Twenty-six goats and eight urial were caught, with a capture effort of 12.5 person-hours per goat, and 59.5 person-hours per urial. Up to four animals were caught at once, multiple captures accounting for 74% of all captures for both species. A remotely fired net-gun should be effective for capturing other species at waterholes or other sites where the animals' presence can be predicted.
