We’re thrilled to welcome back legendary guide Tanis Barkman to the podcast for the third installment in our Mountain Ready series — designed specifically for sheep hunters gearing up for their fall mountain hunts.In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most critical skills for alpine success: glassing. Tanis shares her proven strategies for making the most of your optics in the high country, offering insight that can make the difference between spotting a ram or going home empty-handed.But as always, the conversation doesn’t stop there. We explore what success truly means in the mountains — a theme Tanis speaks to with rare honesty and deep reverence. Her passion for sheep hunting, the wilderness, and the wild sheep themselves will leave you inspired and ready to tackle the backcountry with a renewed perspective.Proudly sponsored by SITKA GearSupported by our Conservation Partners:Frontiersmen Gear, Gunwerks, OnX Maps, Precision Optics, Schnee's, Stone Glacier, Wild TV, YETI, and Zeiss
