On this episode of Talk Is Sheep, Kyle sits down with Greg Rensmaag, President of the Wild Sheep Society of British Columbia, for a candid conversation about leadership, conservation, wild sheep, and the responsibility that comes with stewarding one of the most iconic wildlife resources in North America.
Greg has been at the helm of WSSBC through a period of significant growth and impact. Under his leadership, the Society continues to deliver meaningful work for wild sheep across British Columbia, supported by a dedicated board, staff, volunteers, members, partners, and conservation-minded supporters from across the province and beyond.
In this conversation, Greg reflects on what makes the Wild Sheep Society of BC so effective: a strong volunteer board, a committed staff team, and a community that consistently shows up when wild sheep need it most. He speaks to the importance of healthy organizational leadership, noting that strong boards and aligned teams are critical to keeping conservation work moving forward.
Kyle and Greg also dig into the major issues facing wild sheep in British Columbia today, including disease, habitat loss, predation, and the ongoing need for education. Greg shares his perspective on the threats posed by respiratory disease such as Movi, the importance of landscape-level habitat work like prescribed burns and brushing, and the role predators can play in fragile sheep populations.
The conversation highlights several major WSSBC priorities, including the Fraser River Test and Remove project, the Okanagan Psoroptes Treatment Trial, northern prescribed burns for Stone’s sheep habitat, horn-aging education, and the continued push to grow awareness around wild sheep conservation.
Greg also reflects on British Columbia’s unique responsibility. BC is home to all four North American wild sheep subspecies: Dall’s, Stone’s, Rocky Mountain bighorn, and California bighorn sheep. That privilege comes with a tremendous obligation to ensure these animals and their habitats are conserved for future generations.
Listeners will also hear Greg’s personal story: growing up in a hunting family, learning from his father and grandfather, and now passing that heritage on to his own children. His reflections on legacy, youth, and conservation remind us that the future of wildlife depends on the people we inspire today.
The episode closes with a call to action for WSSBC members and supporters. Whether it is volunteering at an event, joining a sheep count, helping with projects, becoming a member, or simply sharing the message, every contribution matters.
This is a heartfelt, honest, and important conversation with one of the key leaders behind the Wild Sheep Society of BC.

On this episode of Talk is Sheep, we bring listeners inside a special WSSBC summer webinar featuring Chris Procter, Provincial Wild Sheep and Mountain Goat Specialist, for an in-depth update on the Fraser River Test and Remove project.
Chris walks through the history, science, and results of this major wild sheep recovery effort, including the impacts of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae — MOVI — on Fraser River bighorn sheep, the role of female carriers in lamb mortality, and how targeted test and remove work is helping improve lamb survival across treated bands.
The conversation also features WSSBC Vice President and Project Chair Chris Barker, who shares how this project grew from a simple conversation into a multi-million-dollar conservation effort, and Hana Erikson, who highlights the importance of volunteer sheep counts, lamb monitoring, and community involvement on the Fraser.
This webinar-style episode is a powerful look at science-based wildlife management, collaboration, policy challenges, and the on-the-ground conservation work required to recover and protect wild sheep in British Columbia.

On this episode of Talk Is Sheep, Kyle Stelter is joined by guest co-host Jann Demaske, Chair of 1Campfire, for a powerful and timely conversation with Dan Gates, Executive Director of Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management.
Colorado has become one of the front lines in the fight over hunting, wildlife management, ballot-box biology, predator management, and the future of science-based conservation. Dan has been at the centre of that fight, helping lead the successful opposition to Proposition 127 while continuing to advocate for hunting, fishing, trapping, agriculture, and responsible wildlife management.
Kyle, Jann, and Dan dive into the rise of anti-hunting ballot initiatives, the dangers of rewilding and preservationist ideology, the lessons learned from wolf reintroduction, the importance of defending all legal methods of take, and why hunters, anglers, trappers, ranchers, conservation organizations, and non-hunting allies must stand together.
The conversation also explores Colorado’s Initiative 302, the effort to establish a constitutional right to hunt and fish, and what hunters across North America can learn from Colorado’s fight.
This is a must-listen episode for anyone who cares about hunting heritage, wildlife conservation, science-based management, and the future of our outdoor traditions.

On this episode of Talk is Sheep, Hana sits down in 150 Mile House, British Columbia, with legendary predator control specialist, houndsman, trapper, and wildlife management professional Dan Lay.
Dan brings a remarkable and hard-earned story to the podcast. Raised in a predator control family, he grew up around hounds, traplines, cougar complaints, livestock conflicts, and the realities of human-wildlife interaction in British Columbia. Over the course of his career, Dan has worked on grizzly, wolf, and cougar studies, responded to some of the most serious predator conflict files in the province, and built a line of working hounds known for their grit, intelligence, and ability to perform when the pressure is at its highest.
This first episode begins with Dan’s early life, his struggles in school, his introduction to hounds, and the path that led him into government predator control work at a young age. From there, Hana and Dan dive into early cougar complaints on Vancouver Island, the politics of predator management, the pressure of responding to livestock and human safety concerns, and the deep trust required between a houndsman and his dogs.
Dan also shares powerful stories from the field, including the role his dogs played in serious cougar conflict situations, the importance of genetics and instinct in working hounds, and the story of his first dog, Mike, and his first cougar hunt as a teenager.
This is the first episode in what will become a multi-part series with Dan Lay. Future conversations will explore hound lineage, cougar behaviour, wolf trapping, grizzly work, predator-prey relationships, conservation, and the lessons learned from a lifetime spent working in wild places.
This is a raw, honest, and deeply educational conversation about predators, working dogs, wildlife conflict, and the responsibility that comes with managing animals at the intersection of conservation, public safety, and rural life.

In this episode, Kyle Stelter and Chris Barker continue their South African adventure from the Limpopo province with a story that neither of them saw coming. What began as a plains game safari quickly turned into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt Cape buffalo — one of Africa’s legendary Big Five.
Chris shares the full story of how the hunt unfolded: the unexpected phone call, the pressure surrounding an escaped buffalo bull, the patience required to stalk through swirling winds and wary cows, and the incredible professionalism of their PH, Jacques. From the tension of the final approach to the emotion of walking up on an old buffalo bull, this conversation captures the weight, respect, and responsibility that comes with hunting dangerous game.
Kyle and Chris also reflect on the deeper lessons from South Africa’s wildlife management model, the role of private land stewardship, the value of wildlife, and the abundance of game on the landscape. While very different from the North American model, their experience sparks an honest discussion about conservation, investment, habitat, science-based management, and what hunters back home might learn from other systems around the world.
This episode is about much more than pulling the trigger. It is about opportunity, trust, reverence for wildlife, hunting culture, friendship, and making memories that will last a lifetime.

On this episode of Talk is Sheep, Kyle welcomes back Mike Drury, founder of Alpine Riflecraft, for a wide-ranging conversation on rifles, business, family, and legacy in the mountain hunting community.
Mike shares how Alpine Riflecraft has evolved since its early days, from launching its first lightweight mountain rifles to expanding chambering options, barrel contours, and future product offerings. The discussion dives into the realities of building a premium Canadian-made rifle company, navigating market demand, staying true to a clear brand identity, and creating rifles designed first and foremost for hunters.
Kyle and Mike also talk about the growing interest in Canadian-made products, the challenges and opportunities of serving both Canadian and U.S. markets, and why word of mouth, trust, and community remain such powerful drivers in the hunting world. Mike breaks down some of Alpine Riflecraft’s newest developments, including the Ridgeline barrel contour, growing demand for 7mm offerings, interest in left-handed actions, switch-barrel options, and the company’s plans to offer actions for custom builders.
Beyond the rifles, this episode is also about legacy. Mike reflects on leaving a comfortable engineering career to pursue Alpine Riflecraft full-time, involving his children in the business, and building something that may one day become generational. Kyle and Mike also discuss the importance of getting kids outdoors, exposing them to conservation culture, and ensuring the next generation understands the “why” behind hunting, conservation, and community.
This is a great conversation for anyone interested in mountain rifles, Canadian manufacturing, entrepreneurship, family, and the future of hunting culture.

Fresh from the field in South Africa, Kyle Stelter and Chris Barker sit down on day three of their safari to recap the first leg of an unforgettable hunt in the Limpopo region. Recorded live on location, this episode captures the raw sounds and energy of Africa—from swirling winds and distant wildlife to honest reflections after long days in the bush.
The two discuss the journey to camp, first impressions of Bosveld Jacobs, and the incredible abundance of wildlife they’ve already encountered, including giraffe, hippo, zebra, wildebeest, sable, kudu, and more. They also break down the challenges of bowhunting and spot-and-stalk hunting in Africa, where swirling winds, thick cover, and countless watchful eyes make every approach a true test.
Kyle and Chris share the excitement of early success on zebra and blue wildebeest, the emotional highs and lows that come with hunting, and the deep respect they’ve gained for the trackers, professional hunters, and landowners who make this experience possible. The conversation also dives into wildlife management in South Africa, touching on habitat work, predator management, disease prevention, and the private-land conservation model that has created an astonishing richness of game on the landscape.
This is a candid, boots-on-the-ground episode about hunting, conservation, camp life, and seeing Africa for the first time through the eyes of mountain hunters from British Columbia.

In this episode of Talk is Sheep, Kyle Stelter sits down with Kyle Kamp of Valley to Peak Nutrition for a practical and motivating conversation about building a nutrition plan for mountain hunting season.
With sheep season only months away, this episode focuses on one of the most overlooked parts of preparation: having a plan. Together, they break down how hunters can identify their goals, whether that is fat loss, improved performance, or both, and then start building a nutrition strategy that actually supports training and recovery.
Kyle Kamp explains how to approach calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and effective. The conversation also explores common mistakes hunters make, the importance of consistency, why the scale is not the only measure of progress, and how discipline and habits ultimately shape success in the mountains.
This is a great episode for anyone getting serious about their hunt prep and looking to better understand how nutrition and training work together. Whether you are trying to get leaner, stronger, or simply more capable before opening day, this episode will help you start with the right mindset and the right strategy.

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.

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.
