For the past 22 years, Rachel Ahtila has been working in hunting camps and guiding for pretty much every major game species in the Pacific Northwest. As a fellow guide, I know how important it is to go hunting yourself, and I also know that it can be difficult to take the time to do so. This year, Rachel is doing just that, with an upcoming stone sheep hunt, and hopes of later harvesting a Canadian moose, mountain goat, caribou, and elk. In this episode we discuss what it means to be a good hunting guide, from both the client and professional's perspective.  Pro tip: you can't control the wildlife, but you can keep your clients warm and fed.
