Few Ever Get to Hunt Big Horn Sheep - This Teen Did While Battling Cancer

Join BackyardBend’s Recreation Leader Trevor Christianson for this unforgettable adventure in Central Oregon as he chases a Bighorn Ram for the hunt of a lifetime. In this episode, Trevor teams up with Children of Circumstance Outdoors, a Bend based nonprofit that gives individuals aged 12-21 battling terminal illnesses the chance to experience hunting, the outdoors, and forge memories that a last lifetime. We follow Cade, a brave teen battling a rare type of cancer called Ewing Sarcoma, as he steps into Central Oregon for his very first Bighorn sheep hunt. From glassing the ridges, preparing the shot, and processing the animal for a permanent memory mount, this episode shows the power of adventure, courage, and conservation in action. Connect with Children of Circumstance Outdoors. Learn More About Central Oregon 360. Get Outside and be inspired!

Our huge thanks to Subaru of Bend, Powder House Ski Snowboard & Nordic, Idaho First Bank, and Visit Bend for powering Central Oregon 360 and making these adventures possible.
