 In this episode, Jared and Garett explore the question: Should we raise our kids in the outdoors? They discuss the challenges of introducing children to a way of life that’s slowly fading, from exposure to the elements to the realities of hunting in an increasingly commercialized, competitive landscape. With public access shrinking and hunting pressure rising, is it still worth teaching kids the values of outdoor life, knowing it may become harder for them to experience in the future? Or should we guide them towards hobbies that might be less fraught with future disappointments? 

 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.
