This adventure began in the spring of 2015. After attending the annual Wild Sheep Foundation “Sheep Show” as I do every year in January ( I highly recommend it if you’ve never been). I had spoken with several outfitters with the intent of booking an archery Mountain Goat hunt. The hunt we ended up settling on would be a 14 day horseback Goat/Moose combo hunt in very far Northern BC in 2016. I was lucky enough to draw and harvest a nice Shiras Moose in Idaho in 2014 but I really wanted a moose with my bow and Jon was chomping at the bit for an opportunity at a big bull as well so we elected to take the combo option.
Fast forward to September 2016 and it was time for Jon and I to pack our bags! This would be my first guided hunt and first time hunting Mountain Goats.
We elected to drive to BC in the hopes that we would both harvest game and be able to take home as much meat as possible! We brought my chest freezer from home to allow us for plenty of room and we could stop and plug it in on the 36 hour drive each way to keep the meat cold.
