Julie Weikel has just returned from a trek in the high desert of Eastern Oregon. Her goal was to confirm the migration pattern of Pronghorn Antelope between the Hart Mountain and Sheldon National Wildlife refuges. Weikel is 68 years old and a retired large animal veterinarian. She's been involved with wildlife and conservation efforts for decades.

We talk to her about her trip and what she hopes the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will do with the data she collected.
