  EP21 Joel Ingram

  Jul 29, 202649 min

  Arizona sheep guide Joel Ingram has spent years helping others pursue wild sheep. When he finally drew his own Arizona desert bighorn sheep tag, he approached the hunt with a clear goal: find an old, mature ram and enjoy the opportunity the resource provides. In this episode of Kicked Out, Joel discusses preparing for a hunt in unfamiliar country, scouting through extreme desert conditions, and the events that led to harvesting an 11½-year-old ram. He also shares practical advice on training for mountain hunts, the value of experience over score, and how conservation efforts made his opportunity possible. The conversation covers the realities of sheep hunting, the perspective gained from years of guiding, and why Joel is now focused on giving back through conservation and sheep management in Arizona.

  EP19 Josh Martin

  Jul 1, 20261h 4m

  In this episode of Kicked Out, Maddie Richards is joined by Colorado firefighter Josh Martin to relive the hunt that ended with his first wild sheep. After two years of physical preparation and countless hours planning for the trip, Josh travels to the Yukon for a horseback-supported Dall sheep hunt with Mervyn's Yukon Outfitting. On the first day, he and his guides, Brody and Otto, locate multiple bands of rams, pass a younger ram, and spend hours working into position before closing the distance to just 127 yards. Josh reflects on trusting his guide's judgment, overcoming early setbacks like blistered feet, and the surreal moment of putting his hands on his first ram. Rather than heading home after a successful hunt, he stays in camp for the remainder of the trip, helping around camp, glassing for sheep, fishing, and taking in an experience he had dreamed about for years.

  EP18 Jesse Edgar

  Jun 17, 202658 min

  Jesse Edgar grew up around sheep hunting, but earning his first ram took far more time and effort than he ever expected. In this episode of Kicked Out, Jesse shares the story of a Yukon adventure that stretched across 33 days and more than 200 miles of hiking. After going home without a ram on his first Dall's sheep hunt in 2023, Jesse returned to the Yukon the following year for another chance. What started as a typical sheep hunt evolved into multiple hunting opportunities, each bringing new challenges, missed chances, and unexpected twists. From long days in difficult terrain and constant weather changes to close encounters with legal rams, Jesse details the physical and mental grind of staying in the hunt when success seemed increasingly unlikely. Throughout the conversation, Jesse reflects on the value of persistence, the influence of his family's sheep hunting heritage, and why the experience itself mattered just as much as finally getting his ram.
