Hunting the White Ghosts: A Montana Mountain Goat Saga
Manage episode 439607524 series 3511484
Join the Bovasin crew as we recount an unforgettable 7-day backcountry mountain goat hunt in the remote wilderness of Montana. In late October, we were dropped 5 miles into the snow-covered terrain on horseback, where daily storms and deep drifts tested our resolve. After steep hikes up mountain ridges, following black bear tracks and navigating 1000-foot cliffs, we finally spotted the elusive mountain goat on the 4th day. On the 5th day, we harvested a stunning, haired-out trophy. The adventure didn’t end there—our 19.2-hour trek out of the wilderness, through grizzly-infested forests, alongside fresh mountain lion tracks, and shadowed by a mysterious creature with glowing yellow eyes, was the final test of endurance. By the end of the journey, we had covered a total of 55 miles on foot. Tune in to hear about this epic saga of resilience, wildlife encounters, and the ultimate reward of a hard-fought hunt.
