About this listen
In this episode of Kicked Out, Maddie talks with Marcus Gores about the realities of getting into sheep hunting and what it takes to stay committed to the pursuit. As an active member of the Oregon Wild Sheep Foundation, Marcus brings both field experience and a conservation-minded perspective to the conversation.
He walks through his progression from early exposure to archery hunting to booking a last-minute Dall's sheep hunt in Alaska and later taking on the demands of a Stone's sheep hunt. Marcus highlights a common misconception: that physical fitness alone determines success. Instead, he points to mental resilience, decision-making, and adaptability as the traits that matter most when conditions turn ugly in sheep country.
The conversation also touches on the role of community and why involvement in conservation - whether through time, funding, or advocacy - remains essential to the future of wild sheep and the opportunities they represent.
