In this episode of Kicked Out, John Legnard proves that you don't have to grow up in a hunting family to become a big advocate for sheep conservation. He grew up on the East Coast, where he spent his childhood teaching himself how to fish and trap, but hunting didn't enter the picture until his early 20s after moving to Colorado for college. What started with pheasants, deer, and elk eventually led to a chance encounter with the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society at a sports show, a meeting that changed the course of his life.

Just four years after applying, John drew his first bighorn sheep tag, igniting a passion that has since fueled decades of involvement in sheep conservation. He's been a member of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society since the mid-1990s, served on its board of directors across three different decades, including as president, and currently serves as the organization's interim executive director. If you've ever attended the Less than One Club event, you may have John to thank. What started as a simple offer to donate a couple of kegs of Blue Moon to the very first gathering in 2013 turned into a lasting connection with the club and its mission. John's story is one of unexpected turns, lifelong service, and a reminder that sometimes the smallest decisions can shape an entire lifetime.
