In this episode of the Kicked Out podcast, host Maddie Richards sits down with 16-year-old Keetin Daugherty, the youngest guest to appear on the show. Growing up in Washington, Keetin developed a passion for the outdoors while hunting alongside her dad—an experience that sparked a love for the mountains and eventually led her to harvest three sheep before turning 16.

Keetin shares what it’s like balancing school, sports, and the demanding world of sheep hunting. She talks about the preparation and persistence required to pursue wild sheep, as well as the challenges and lessons that come with spending time in rugged country.

The conversation also highlights the unique bond she’s built with her father through hunting and how her experiences in the field differ from those of most teenagers her age. Keetin’s story is a reminder that beyond the harvest, it’s the time in the mountains and the memories made along the way that matter most—and that the next generation will play a key role in the future of wildlife conservation.
