Just finished this. It's a pretty good read. Anyone have any suggestions for a similarly written book on a different critter?

Randy, are those fictional books?
I found the book to be very informative about the ways that goats go about their daily lives and the hierarchied structure that prevails. The problem I have with this book is the author's admission that he is against the hunting of mountain goats. This is fine to have as an opinion, but when the author admits in writing that he has performed an illegal act, harrassing animals to prevent legal hunting as well as threatening to destroy a legal road to disallow legal vehicle access, my opinion of the book plummeted.

With so many of you recommending this book I was suprised to read that about it. I guess the overall content of the book is still worth it?
I would say definitely yes the book is worth reading. Chadwick's focus is on the mountain goat and how it relates to its environment with a few observations about his feelings on hunting, not an emotional, anti-hunting, rant with a few observations about mountain goat behavior thrown in.I guess the overall content of the book is still worth it
