In this episode of Kicked Out, Maddie sits down with Josh Cafasso to break down the reality behind his first bighorn sheep hunt in Colorado. After drawing a highly coveted tag in just five years, Josh committed to months of preparation—shooting, scouting, and studying the mental side of sheep hunting.

What followed was a nine-day grind. From 12-hour hikes without spotting a ram to multiple blown opportunities—including spooked sheep, missed chances, and last-second setbacks—Josh was pushed to the edge mentally. With time running out and work pulling him back home each day, the pressure to capitalize mounted.

Then, in the final evening of the hunt, everything came together. A mature ram stepped into view, and Josh made a 400-yard shot to seal it.

This episode captures the highs, lows, and hard-earned reality of a sheep hunt—and why success is never guaranteed.

In this episode of Kicked Out, Trevor Rosenberry shares a story that started before he was even born. In 1968, his grandfather drove from Pennsylvania to Alaska, spent two weeks hunting sheep and moose, and came home with a ram that would hang on the family wall for decades.

Trevor grew up looking at that ram—and listening to the stories that came with it. Those stories lit a fire that stayed with him his entire life. Years later, after setting money aside, raising a family, and navigating life—including managing Type 1 diabetes—he finally made the trip himself.

What followed was everything he had imagined and more: tough conditions, deep snow, long hikes, and a surreal, close-range encounter with a mature ram in the Brooks Range.

But more than the harvest, this is about legacy—how stories, family, and time in wild places shape who we are, and how those experiences get passed down.
