Goat Hunt

Goat Hunt

Raised in a hunting family, Michael’s passion for the outdoors started young and was shaped by years of small-game and deer hunting before reigniting later in life through remote mountain pursuits. That passion peaked when Michael beat 0.11% odds to draw a once-in-a-lifetime Alberta mountain goat tag—an opportunity that demanded fast planning and creative problem-solving.

Facing extreme remoteness and foot-only access, Michael turned to packrafting to reach deeper terrain and safely float meat out. The hunt was successful within days, but the most intense moment came during the swollen river exit, where fast water and tight decisions turned the packraft into both a lifeline and a test of skill.

The experience reinforced a simple truth: preparation, adaptability, and respect for the wild matter more than perfect gear—and sometimes the best stories begin where others say a plan won’t work.
