Mountain goats scrape out a living in some of the most remote parts of the continent.
One of the biggest hurdles to chasing these white beasts is simply getting to the base of the mountains they live on.
We would use an inflatable jet boat to carry us up winding threaded rivers sandwiched between imposing mountains.

Our jet boat would become a critical part of our hunt. Without it we would be stranded in an environment that is excruciatingly difficult to travel on by foot. Boat maintenance and pit stops were the norm.
Coastal mountains are notoriously thick and steep. Multi-hour blind stalks to where you last saw the goats are the unfortunate reality.
It’s a roll of the dice on whether the goats will still be there or if you will pop out in the right spot.
