Good question Bob. Some folks say the sheep droppings taste beter than goat.
I look more at their tracks and the droppings around the tracks. I am sure that a biologist could answer that question but I have not delved into that scientific venue as of yet.

What...is the difference between mountain goat and bighorn sheep droppings? How can you tell one from the other?

Re: What...I'm afraid to ask you how you ID the tracks...
