I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to talk goats with Bill. Bill is a great storyteller, and he is generous in sharing his knowledge about goats. In the conversation, he helps us better understand this tough, magnificent animal that lives in some of the most unforgiving wilderness areas. Bill talked about studying goats, mountain goat behaviour, habitat requirement, hunting regulations, and so much more.

Miki and I are heading goat hunting in August so we will listen to this on our drive up North. Don't miss this one!
