    Ryan McHugh didn't stumble into sheep hunting—it was the result of years of planning, discipline, and a deep-rooted hunting background shaped by family tradition. In this episode, Ryan walks through the long road that led him north to Canada's remote sheep country, from physical conditioning and dialing in gear to mentally preparing for the realities of mountain hunting.

    He reflects on trading a career in forestry for financial planning, and how that shift sharpened his focus on finally pursuing a sheep hunt. Along the way, Ryan shares what it was like navigating rugged terrain under wildfire smoke, glassing vast landscapes, and experiencing the shock and excitement of seeing sheep for the first time. Patience played a central role as days passed waiting for the right opportunity—until everything came together on the third day with a successful harvest. The episode closes with moments that extend beyond the hunt itself, including quiet nights, big country, and the Northern Lights dancing overhead.
