Jeff Agostinho jumps back on the podcast to give a quick run down of a local Goat count he is planning right here in the Chilliwack river valley. 

The Chilliwack Mountain Goat populations have not been hunted since the 80's due to populations concerns. Not much has been done to monitor our local Goats with exception for some aerial surveys. Jeff and Justin Balzer have set a plan in motion to perform some gumboot conservation in the way of a Goat count.
