  • EP12 Peter Briant
    Mar 25 2026

    In this episode of Kicked Out, Maddie sits down with Pete Briant, the first-ever winner of the Less Than One Club. With no prior sheep hunting experience, Pete found himself on a once-in-a-lifetime hunt in Canada—and made the most of it.

    Pete shares what it was like to get the call that he'd won, and how quickly excitement turned into preparation. From getting in shape to figuring out gear and expectations, he dives into what it really takes to get ready for a sheep hunt when you're starting from scratch.

    They also talk about the hunt itself—the tough country, unpredictable weather, and the ups and downs that come with it. When the moment finally came, it was everything he'd hoped for and more.

    But more than the ram, this story is about the people, the experience, and a growing appreciation for conservation and the community behind wild sheep.

  • EP11 Keetin Daugherty
    Mar 11 2026

    In this episode of Kicked Out Stories, host Maddie Richards sits down with 16-year-old Keetin Daugherty, the youngest guest to appear on the podcast. A passionate hunter from Washington, Keetin shares how she balances school, sports, and life in the outdoors.

    Keetin talks about getting her start hunting alongside her dad and how those early experiences sparked a passion that has led her to successfully harvest three sheep by the age of 16. She reflects on the challenges of sheep hunting, the importance of preparation, and the lessons she's learned along the way.

    The conversation also explores the unique bond hunting has created with her father, how her experiences differ from most teenagers her age, and why the memories and time spent in the mountains matter more than the harvest itself. Keetin's story highlights the thrill of the chase, the value of family in the field, and the role the next generation plays in the future of wildlife conservation.
