Into every life a little rain must fall, so offset it with epic hunting adventures. The North American continent retains wild beasts aplenty in open, wild country like the Mountain Men enjoyed 200 years ago. Towering mountains, gnarly canyons, expansive grasslands and deep forests. More than 440 million acres of public land are open to free exploration, camping and hunting. Why settle for the same 100-acre deer lease year after year? Dream big, lay plans, saddle up and grab your adventure.

Most U.S. hunters have never seen a mountain goat, but you can—up close and personal. Just be prepared to hike. These white cliff climbers can be hunted in several Western states, but tags are few and far between. In British Columbia you buy them over the counter. Nonresidents must hire local registered guides, but that’s a good idea anyway, considering how remote and rugged goat country is. You may have to hike a day or two from the road or fly a few hundred miles to a wilderness lake before starting your climb. You’ll share the experience with grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, and mountain lions. Probably moose, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and caribou, too.
