Imagine you are the proud possessor of a brand new desert big horn tag that you drew after applying most of your life.

You're scouting, you found a good ram, you've got your life. You're scouting, you've found a good ram, you've got your plan in place and then an old injury flutters up and a knee replacement goes south on you and you've got just weeks to recover.

How are you going to go about that?

What do you do?

Welcome to the show today folks.

I'm Joseph von Benedict and today I've got my good friend Colton Heward here with me.

Now, Colton generally hosts our scouting and navigating segments,

and we're here to talk about some cool things in the works.

We're going to talk about his dad, who's the gentleman,

that's in the predicament earlier.

He's got a really prized desert bighorn tag and above knee.

And he's still planning to go ahead with his hunt,

so there's some cool stuff going on there.

Anyway, welcome back to the show, Colton. It's great to have you. You're sitting down with me again.

Glad to be here. Now folks, we're recording outside. We're sitting on my property in Idaho,

where we usually have our campfire, but it's early in the day so we're

fireless currently but there's a little bit of wind rustling and just sounds a lot going on around us. So bear with us if you hear static or sounds of wind and stuff.

What should we dive into first, Colton?

We dive right into kind of my dad's sheep hunting, kind of what's going on there

if you'd like. Let's talk about that because that's kind of the most critical thing, you know, I guess in our

circle right now the biggest upset that we're talking about and dealing with and pretty

impressed to see your dad forging on.
