EP11 Keetin Daugherty

In this episode of Kicked Out Stories, host Maddie Richards sits down with 16-year-old Keetin Daugherty, the youngest guest to appear on the podcast. A passionate hunter from Washington, Keetin shares how she balances school, sports, and life in the outdoors.

Keetin talks about getting her start hunting alongside her dad and how those early experiences sparked a passion that has led her to successfully harvest three sheep by the age of 16. She reflects on the challenges of sheep hunting, the importance of preparation, and the lessons she's learned along the way.

The conversation also explores the unique bond hunting has created with her father, how her experiences differ from most teenagers her age, and why the memories and time spent in the mountains matter more than the harvest itself. Keetin's story highlights the thrill of the chase, the value of family in the field, and the role the next generation plays in the future of wildlife conservation.
