Rachel Ahtila was born and raised in the western province of British Columbia, Canada, in the heart of the South Okanagan. Like any outdoor enthusiast, her passion for the outdoors began at an early age and has blossomed from there. At twenty-three years old, she has spent the last twelve years growing up at a remote guide outfitters lodge in northern British Columbia. It was here she began her guiding career hunting their featured big game species. This year Rachel makes her debut with the Shockey crew as a rookie guide and camerawoman, and will be featured on ‘Jim Shockey’s The Professionals' in Season Two.
