As Pat and Nicole head north to take on the Mackenzie Mountain Challenge in season 15 of Driven, they find themselves in one of the most rugged and challenging terrains they’ve encountered yet. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, Pat and Nicole are in for a true adventure as they navigate through some of the most difficult hunting country in the world.
The episode starts with Pat and Nicole making their way into the wilds of the Yukon as they prepare to take on the Mackenzie Mountain Challenge. The first challenge they face is the long and grueling journey into the heart of the mountains, where they come across rugged terrain that tests both their physical and mental endurance. They fight their way through dense brush, up steep inclines, and across rocky outcroppings as they make their way towards the hunting grounds.
Once they arrive, Pat and Nicole set up camp and get to work exploring the area. They quickly realize that this is not your average hunting ground and the game here is as challenging as the terrain. They must stalk their prey across rugged hillsides, through dense forests, and across treacherous bogs. The mountain goats they are hunting are elusive and difficult to spot, so they must rely on their skill and experience to find them.
As the days go by, Pat and Nicole’s perseverance is tested as they stalk their prey, deal with unpredictable weather conditions, and navigate through the rugged terrain. But their hard work pays off when they finally spot a massive billy goat in the distance. They carefully plan their approach and inch closer to their target, taking care not to spook him. When they finally get within range, they take the shot and the goat goes down.
The remainder of the episode is dedicated to the processing of the kill, with Pat and Nicole showing viewers the proper techniques for field dressing and butchering the animal. They explain the importance of preserving the meat, and share some tips on how to prepare it for a delicious and nutritious meal.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a first-hand look into the physical and mental challenges that come with hunting in some of the most remote and rugged terrain on the planet. They also get a glimpse into the importance of conservation and land stewardship, as Pat and Nicole demonstrate the utmost respect for the animals they hunt and the environment they hunt in.
Overall, Mackenzie Mountain Challenge is an action-packed and thrilling episode of Driven with Pat & Nicole, showcasing the unyielding spirit and determination of these two skilled hunters as they take on the ultimate hunting challenge.
