Sheep Shape with Chad Hall

We welcome Chad Hall to the podcast to talk Sheep Hunting and the courage involved to face your challenges whether they are in the mountain or in the operating room.

Chad, a lifelong passionate hunter, was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer when he was just 19. He spent the next two years fighting the cancer. He underwent several surgeries to remove a large tumor from his femur and endured more than 300 days of extensive chemotherapy before finally bringing the disease into submission. His entire knee had to be replaced, and he lost parts of his quad muscle, femur and tibia. After these surgeries, Hall spent thousands of days in physical therapy learning to walk again. He learned through his experience that life is short and to get the most out of his. One of his lifelong dreams was to train so that he'd be physically strong enough to hunt wild sheep.

We discuss Chad's journey in the Sheep Hunting world and how he recently completed his FNAWS/Slam. We dive into how he got involved with Sheep Shape and the challenges he faced along the way as well as the other survivors that were part of the show. We also discuss Chad's most recent Bighorn Sheep hunt.
