Stranded Sheep, Gutted Goats, and Flying Firing Squads - a podcast by Jesse Bryant & Hannah Habermann

More than half a century ago, Idaho Fish and Game decided they wanted to hunt mountain goats so they captured some near Coeur d'Alene and released them into the Snake River Range. Fifty years later, these goats are threatening the extinction of the Teton Bighorn Sheep. 

Between the recording and when you'll hear this, nearly 100 mountain goats will be killed by helicopter gunners in Grand Teton National Park.

In this episode, we try to understand how it came to this.
