On this week's episode of the Big Hunt Guys, we are joined by Corey Mason and Kevin Hurley from the Wild Sheep Foundation to dive deep into the West's most iconic species— bighorn sheep. We explore wild sheep conservation, the challenges of disease and habitat loss, and how populations are being managed and restored across the West. Plus, we get into what makes these animals so incredibly cool. We also discuss WSF's generous donation as part of Omar's quest to raise money to build a bighorn sheep guzzler. Omar is running a 100-mile ultra race on May 2nd to raise funds and awareness for sheep conservation. All donations raised will go directly back into the guzzler project! If you love wild sheep or just love wild places, this one's for you!Contribute to the Wild Sheep Foundation Here: https://www.wildsheepfoundation.org/Fund Water Guzzlers In Nevada By Donating To Omar's Run Fund: https://www.gohunt.com/omars-cantina

This episode features Brad Brooks, the founder of Argali Outdoors, one hell of a mountain/backcountry hunter, and an all around great dude.   We touch on the value of finding bite sized adventures when life demands more of our time, the long list of new gear Argali has launched since Brad was last on the show, and what it's like navigating an increasingly chaotic world and how that impacts business decisions and ultimately the customer.   And yes, we touch on tariffs and current US-Canada relations. In a world that is so easily swayed by headlines and the whims of social media, Brad offers a nuanced and honest perspective on how the current economic climate will impact the entire outdoor industry.   NOTABLE GUEST QUOTES:   “I'll offer an open invite to any Canadians that come to Boise, reach out if you're in town and beers are on me.”  @argali_official  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

  This episode features a guy in contention for the most interesting man in the world. He's one of the most traveled, humble and eclectic men to have been on the podcast. As a regular guest, he never disappoints.   “Mr. G” as he's most commonly known has built Spartan Precision from an upstart bipod manufacturer to a company with global reach, designing products to solve real problems for all manner of hunters, from the mountains to the valleys and the plains, and with their more recent foray into defense/military applications they are now also serving the hunters of men.  As usual, Rob has just returned from yet another adventure and shares his insights and tips from his trip and then dives into the expanding line of Spartan Precision products.  NOTABLE GUEST QUOTES:  “Pulling the trigger is just the excuse to be out there.”  @spartan_mrg  @spartanprecision  @spartan_operations  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

There are some brands that represent more than the products they manufacture and sell. Schnee's is without a doubt one of those brands in the mountain and western hunting space.  Not only do they produce some of the best and most durable boots for the mountain hunting community, they have also acted as an incubator and key partner in the development of many of the brands that have become household names amongst hunters.  On this episode, Michael Edwards of Schnee's shares the truly unique history of Schnee's and how the company has always been more than a just a boot manufacturer. He also covers their full boot line-up and explains how to find the best boots for your needs.  NOTABLE GUEST QUOTES:  “We're very loyal to the guides and outfitters that use our products and we continue to build boots that meet the needs of that community.”  @schnee_hunt  @bigmle  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

On this episode, we've got a reposted interview from last year that dives into planning and goal setting. This is the time of year when the upcoming season's hunting plans are being solidified and/or planned with more and more enthusiasm so, this is a worthwhile listen, regardless of whether you caught it last year or not.   How do you navigate the demands of work, family, and hunting when trying to make the best decision possible?  How do you plan and prepare for tags that may yet be drawn?  How do you decide between investing in your skills or spending money on new gear?   How do you use the next six-plus months to get the most out of whatever trip or trips you're planning for 2025?  And finally, how do you make sure you're actually following your own personal goals and aspirations and not just drifting around at the mercy of whatever is being hyped on the socials?  All this and more is covered in this episode.  NOTABLE GUEST QUOTES:  “If I put a gun to your head and you can only pick one, what is it?”  @mindful_hunter   ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

Robbie and Tana have been in connection for a couple of years now. Tana and her family live up in Alaska, have a super unique household, fostered and adopted kids and just an incredible heart for hunting, living, and connecting with the land. Tana knew as she got more and more involved in the Alaskan wilderness and what that time spent there was doing for her - mentally, physically, spiritually, that she wanted to share that with other women. Tana shares with Robbie about her woman-only hunts in Alaska - and the broader landscape of woman hunt programs writ-large from organizations including Wild Sheep Foundation, SCI, Wahine Wapiti in New Zealand, She Hunt and others around the world. Woman hunters and woman hunt programs are becoming more and more common and dominant as woman are the fastest growing demographic of hunters in the world!

The majestic Bighorn Sheep, a symbol of North America's wild beauty, is facing an unprecedented crisis. From thriving populations of nearly 2 million to a mere 80,000 today, these iconic animals are under siege from habitat loss, deadly diseases like Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae from domestic livestock, and a critical need for conservation support. This documentary dives deep into the challenges facing Bighorn Sheep and the efforts of the National Bighorn Sheep Center to secure a future for this species. Join Amanda Verheul, Executive Director of the National Bighorn Sheep Center, as she sheds light on the conservation measures, habitat restoration, and community efforts pivotal to the survival of wild sheep populations. A crucial part of this story is the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation—a set of principles that guides sustainable wildlife management across the continent. By emphasizing science-based practices, public ownership of wildlife, and funding from hunter conservationists, this model has played a significant role in preserving wildlife populations, including bighorns, through initiatives funded by state hunting licenses and special conservation tags. This film explores the power of collaboration—from local communities to nationwide conservation organizations—in safeguarding these herds for generations to come. Discover the impact of hunter contributions and the surprising role of hunting as a conservation tool in this delicate balance of wildlife preservation.
