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.
