Joining Kyle in this episode of wide-ranging topics is returning guest Renée Thornton, Founder and Chair of the Wild Sheep Foundation's Women Hunt® program. 

During a year overshadowed by the impact of a cancer diagnosis and major surgery, Renée prioritized her well-being through the things she loves best: travel, hunting, wildlife conservation and giving back.

Kyle and Renée talk about achieving the notable accomplishment of travelling to all seven continents; African hunting and the striking beauty of Namibia; volunteering on a critical Desert Bighorn Sheep restoration project in Texas; the new Women in Hunting® community; and the thrill of building a brand new Sheep Show® event open to everyone: the inaugural Beer & Bubbly social hour!

The Beer & Bubbly social is a great way to enjoy a free glass of beer or bubbly while meeting up with old friends and making new ones. No need to register, just show up at 5pm outside the Tuscany ballroom at the Peppermill Resort. Generously sponsored by the New Mexico Wild Sheep Foundation and hosted by Women Hunt®, Women in Hunting® and the Rubye Mayflower Blake Legacy Fund, this event is for everyone.

There are chances to win a Weatherby rifle, a Weatherby shotgun and an assorted gift bag during the social, just for sending in your photos and a brief story (need not be present to win.) We're looking for photos of women of all ages in the outdoors. They can submit them themselves - or by men who are proud of the women in their lives! - at https://www.wildsheepfoundation.org/womenhunt/story
