Karly Barker joins Hana at Wild Sheep Foundation’s Sheep Show for a great conversation about life on the water, forging your own path, and earning respect in one of the toughest working environments out there.

Raised in the outdoors and shaped by a life connected to the coast, Karly now makes her living as a guide with Queen Charlotte Fishing Lodge. In this episode, she shares why a career in the trades was never the right fit, how she found her place on the ocean, and what it took to establish herself as a female guide in a profession still largely dominated by men.

Karly dives into the realities of guiding on the open waters of Haida Gwaii, where big water, changing conditions, and high expectations demand grit, confidence, and skill. She and Hana talk about what it takes to succeed in a male-dominated industry, what guests can expect from a QCL experience, and why conservation remains such an important part of the conversation.

Queen Charlotte Fishing Lodge is a valued partner of the Wild Sheep Society of British Columbia. To learn more about their world-class fishing experiences, visit fishqcl.com.

In this episode of Talk is Sheep, Kyle Stelter sits down with Kyle Kamp of Valley to Peak Nutrition for a practical and motivating conversation about building a nutrition plan for mountain hunting season.

With sheep season only months away, this episode focuses on one of the most overlooked parts of preparation: having a plan. Together, they break down how hunters can identify their goals, whether that is fat loss, improved performance, or both, and then start building a nutrition strategy that actually supports training and recovery.

Kyle Kamp explains how to approach calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and effective. The conversation also explores common mistakes hunters make, the importance of consistency, why the scale is not the only measure of progress, and how discipline and habits ultimately shape success in the mountains.

This is a great episode for anyone getting serious about their hunt prep and looking to better understand how nutrition and training work together. Whether you are trying to get leaner, stronger, or simply more capable before opening day, this episode will help you start with the right mindset and the right strategy.

In this episode of Talk is Sheep, Kyle Stelter sits down with legendary outfitter Harold Grinde of Gana River Outfitters for a conversation about legacy, wild sheep, and a life spent in some of the wildest country left in North America.

Harold shares his remarkable journey from guiding in the Yukon and British Columbia to becoming one of the most respected names in the Northwest Territories. He reflects on decades in the Mackenzie Mountains, the history and evolution of Gana River Outfitters, and what makes the NWT such a special place for mountain hunters. From remote horseback hunts and backpack sheep camps to camp improvements, wildlife management, and the importance of preserving traditional hunting experiences, Harold offers a rare and authentic look into a storied outfitting life.

The conversation also dives into conservation, mentorship, hunter education, and Harold’s deep commitment to giving back through organizations like the Wild Sheep Foundation. As he prepares to pass the reins to the next generation, Harold shares what matters most: family, stewardship, and leaving things better than he found them.

If you want to check out an incredible hunt opportunity with Gana River, the Wild Sheep Society of BC is offering a raffle for 2026. Tickets are now on sale at: www.rafflebox.ca/raffle/wss-bc-gana-dall

This is a conversation about wild country, hard-earned wisdom, and one man’s lasting impact on hunting and conservation in the North.

Kyle sits down with Tanner Dannish, CEO and bladesmith at Frontiersmen Gear during the Alberta Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation's annual Bighorn Banquet. The two have a great discussion on a variety of topics, but front and centre is a discussion around Canadian innovation, manufacturing and production.

We discuss the Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta's event and we look back at the Wild Sheep Society of BC's Salute to Conservation and Mountain Hunting Expo that was hosted the week before. Core to our conversation is the conservation movement and our wild sheep community and how we are all connected by mission and by wild sheep.

Recorded on the ground at Sheep Show 2026, this episode brings the energy of the show floor straight to your headphones as we sit down with Julie Chapman, Bryan Bailey, and Glen Landrus.

Julie shares the full story behind an unforgettable adventure—a Washington bighorn sheep hunt she won through a raffle draw, then experienced alongside Baily and Landrus. From the moment her name was called to the planning, expectations, and emotions that come with a once-in-a-lifetime tag, Julie walks us through what the hunt meant to her, what surprised her most, and the moments she’ll never forget.

But this conversation goes deeper than a single hunt. Julie and Glen have both served on the Wild Sheep Foundation Board, and their commitment to wild sheep conservation is woven into everything they do. We talk about why raffle-driven opportunities matter, how they fuel real on-the-ground conservation, and why community—mentorship, stewardship, and giving back—is at the heart of sheep hunting.

If you love sheep stories, conservation wins, and the kind of hunts that change people, you won’t want to miss this one.

This episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, leadership, and mountain hunting.

Kyle sits down with Kip Fulks—Under Armour co-founder and the owner behind Bushwhack Guiding—to talk about what it really takes to build something that lasts. From the early days of scaling a global brand, to the hard-earned lessons that come from running businesses in the real world, Kip shares the mindset, risk tolerance, and decision-making that separate dreamers from doers.

We also dig into why domestic production and building things “close to home” matters more than ever, how values shape companies over time, and what Kip believes the outdoor industry needs to protect—both culturally and on the landscape.

And because this is Talk is Sheep, we don’t skip the field talk: Kip breaks down fueling for long days, what most hunters get wrong about preparation, and what he recommends bringing into the mountains when the stakes are high and the weather turns.

If you’re into conservation, hunting, business, or building a life in the mountains, this one’s for you.

Hana Erikson and Rebecca Peters sit down with Jann Demaske, Secretary of the Wild Sheep Foundation and Chair of the 1 Campfire program.

Jann shares her story of how she found her way into conservation and hunting, how she met her husband, and how they introduced their daughters to hunting at a young age. She is humble, deeply respected, and someone who truly leads through service.

For over a decade, Jann has poured her time and heart into volunteering with the Wild Sheep Foundation. Her passion for conservation, mentorship, and community is inspiring. We talk about why mentorship matters for both women and men in the conservation and hunting space, what keeps her coming back and the lifelong friendships built through this work.

Jann reminds us to think about the next generation, how we protect wildlife, preserve hunting heritage, and continue raising critical funds for wild sheep so they are here for generations to come.
