To close out Sheep Camp, we welcome our friend Kevin Willis on the show. Kevin is a very experienced sheep hunter with a wealth of knowledge on stone sheep. 

We focused the conversation with Kevin on stories from his time pursuing stone rams, and tried to glean some strategies that have helped him find success pursuing "trophy" stone rams. 

There are many definitions of a trophy ram and for each person it is unique. For this conversation we explored the decisions and strategy it takes to uncover stone rams that are not just a legal ram, but are those mature, upper echelon stone rams that we all dream about.

Last year we had Kevin do a full episode of Sheep Camp focused on ultralight sheep hunting. If you are interested in that episode listen to it here or scroll back to episode 3 of our podcast.
