  2. The Three Amigos with Julie Chapman, Bryan Bailey and Glen Landrus

    The Three Amigos with Julie Chapman, Bryan Bailey and Glen Landrus

    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. Listen now.

    Kip Fulks: Die with your boots on - Building Brands, Building Hunters

    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. This episode is brought to you by WildTV. Listen now and share this episode with a hunting buddy who needs it.

    The Power of Consistency: Nutrition for Mountain Hunters with Kyle Kamp

    In this episode of Talk is Sheep, host Kyle Stelter sits down with Kyle Kamp (Mountain Tough) to talk about the often-missed edge in mountain hunting: nutrition that’s consistent, flexible, and hunt-proof.

He also shares his personal weight-loss journey that launched his career in nutrition, and offers practical, field-ready strategies for maintaining energy on long days, staying fueled during multi-day hunts, and using supplements the right way (as support—not a substitute).

Key takeaways Consistency beats perfection—every time.Flexibility and autonomy make nutrition sustainable.Macronutrients directly impact performance and recovery.Planning your hunt nutrition is essential for success.Supplements can help, but fundamentals come first.Community support accelerates progress and accountability.
