If you’ve listened to Kicked Out before, you’ll remember Larry Clark. He was such a fun guest the first time around that we had to invite him back—and this time, there’s another sheep hunt to talk about.

Larry, a fifth-generation Colorado native, lifelong hunter, and passionate conservationist, first joined us to share the incredible story of waiting more than 35 years to draw a coveted Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep tag. After finally harvesting his first sheep, Larry’s story could have ended there. Instead, just months later, he found himself heading south for a completely different sheep-hunting adventure: a desert sheep hunt in Sonora, Mexico.

In this episode, Larry picks up where his first story left off and takes us along for the ride. What was supposed to be another exciting sheep hunt quickly became an adventure full of unexpected twists and challenges. Larry traveled to Mexico with his cousin Scott and their wives for a ten-day trip, crossing from Arizona into Sonora and settling into a rustic ranch surrounded by rugged desert country.

From the moment they crossed the border, the trip was anything but ordinary. The group encountered an unfamiliar border scanning system and a tense checkpoint along the highway before finally reaching the ranch. Once there, the atmosphere changed from uncertainty to excitement as they met their hosts and guides, settled into camp, and experienced the hospitality—and incredible food—that made the ranch feel like home.

Then came the hunt.

Larry and his cousin split up to hunt different areas, with Larry heading into the desert with his guide and the ranch team. Conditions were difficult, with drought impacting the landscape and making the search for sheep even more challenging. Along the way, they dealt with injuries, gear failures, extreme weather, and plenty of unexpected moments—including an encounter with a Gila monster.

Through it all, Larry’s sense of humor and enthusiasm never disappeared. His story captures the reality of sheep hunting: things rarely go exactly according to plan, and sometimes the biggest memories come from the moments you never saw coming.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why Larry decided to pursue a desert sheep hunt after waiting more than 35 years for his first sheep.
• The incredible twist that allowed Larry to hunt two sheep within six months.
• What it was like traveling across the border into Sonora, Mexico.
• The unique experience of staying at a traditional hunting ranch.
• The challenges of hunting desert sheep during difficult drought conditions.
• Injuries, gear failures, extreme weather, and a few unexpected encounters along the way.
• The friendships, laughter, food, and experiences that made the adventure memorable.
• Why the entire journey—not just the harvest—is what makes a sheep hunt special.

Larry’s second appearance on Kicked Out is a reminder of exactly why we wanted him back. His stories are entertaining, unpredictable, and full of the kind of experiences that make you want to hear what happened next.

From waiting 35 years for his first sheep to finding himself in the deserts of Mexico just months later, Larry’s journey proves that sometimes the best hunting stories aren't the ones that go according to plan. They’re the ones filled with unexpected challenges, good friends, plenty of laughs, and memories that last long after you leave the mountain.

Join Maddie and repeat guest Larry Clark for another unforgettable sheep-hunting adventure.
