Trading Beers for Bighorns and Other Stories with Vic Coggins

We welcome back Vic Coggins for his second appearance on the show to talk about how he traded beer to wildlife biologists to reintroduce bighorn sheep into Oregon. Vic has been a wildlife biologist for close to 60 years now, and if it weren’t for him we might not have mountain goats, bighorns, turkey and more. He tells stories of the Wild West days  of getting species from other places to introduce to Oregon. A program that was so successful that now Oregon gives wild sheep away to other states.
