A grueling climb, scorching heat, and one perfect shot, this is the bighorn sheep hunt of a lifetime. When Kenia drew a coveted Idaho bighorn sheep tag, she knew it would test every ounce of grit she had. But nothing could have prepared her for the raw beauty and brutal terrain of Hell’s Canyon. In this episode of Hunt. Fish. Freedom., Kenia sits down with cohost Luke Hilgemann to relive her once-in-a-lifetime sheep hunt through Idaho’s Unit 11, where towering cliffs meet the Snake River and every step feels earned. From 105-degree heat and steep climbs to 12-mile treks across shale slopes, Kenia recounts how persistence, faith, and solid mountain gear finally led to a perfect Boone and Crockett ram, a world-class sheep scoring just shy of 190. Along the way, she shares lessons learned from elite guides, how to mentally push through grueling mountain hunts, and why conservation is at the heart of every ethical pursuit. Whether you dream of chasing Rocky Mountain bighorns or simply love hearing true outdoor grit stories, this episode captures what it means to hunt hard, give thanks, and protect wild places for the next generation.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
