    Getting in sheep hunt shape?

    Well I would start off slow. Let's just call you fat and out of shape. The worst thing you can do is to get after it really hard the first few months. Start off slow. You can get your cardio and muscles back in shape fairly fast but it is all the other soft tissue that will get damaged...

    Sheep Rifle Project

    Look at the swaro z5 3.5X18. I have one on my tikka .308 and the turret gets me out to 650 yards. Think the scope came in right at a pound.

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    I've got to tell you that the PM's I'm getting are very, very interesting. When I started to research booking a stone hunt I thought I would easily find 2-5 outfits that were top notch and find one that fit my needs. Well that is really far from reality. I don't know if I've ever seen an...

    Comfort Sheep Hunting Items

    I also use a 20,000 mah battery pack. I can get about 10 days of use out of my phone, inreach and head lamp with that size battery.

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    yeah I'm probably leaning towards using a rifle. I'm not a big fan of going home empty handed. Been on hunts where that has happened but on the bigger hunts I really would like to find a great animal to put on the wall. I'm not worried about being remote. I'm comfortable being close to...

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    Great point. I didn't really think of that. So what you are telling me is there is a way to spend even more money. Thought that was impossible to spend more.

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    Khntr - Personal limitations......Well we all have them. I put a few thousand miles on the back of a horse and I'm still not nuts about being on one while in steep country. Going up isn't bad. Going down really sucks. I work for myself so time isn't a limiting factor. I can adjust...

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    Thanks for the response. I didn't realize that residents could hunt in the same area as the outfitters. Not sure why I assumed that since I live in AZ and it's all public land with plenty of ourfitters. I'm not against using a bow but it isn't a must. I gave up shooting recurves many...

    Not 100% sure but it looks like she is teaming up with Red Creek outfitters now.

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    I went last year with my wife and that show was awesome. We both had a great time and I really wish I could go talk to some of these people in person. My plan was to go again in 2021. I wanted to attend the first day so the crowds would be less and then enjoy the weekend.

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    Well you should go look at the guide outfitters association of BC's website. Probably 25-35% of the "sheep" outfitters really don't hunt sheep. Quite a few don't even have a pic of a dead sheep on their site. Others will flat out say they only have one hunter a year or one hunter every...

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    I enjoy using a bow. It would be great and I love to bow hunt. It would really depend on the circumstances.

    Stone Sheep hunt questions

    So, I'm getting to the point where I want to book a stone sheep hunt. My wife said it is something I should really consider booking this spring (sure it will be a few years out) and I'm excited about the journey......sort of. I went to the BC outfitters association page and looked at every...

    Sheep Rifle Project

    I've got the Tikka T3 superlite in .308. Put a 16oz (swaro 3-18X) scope on the gun. Dropped in the lighter trigger spring. Got the 5 round mag and have 9 rounds on the stock. Gun weighs in right at 7 pounds. I reload so I load the bullets long and push velocity a bit. The gun shoots...

    Brooks Range 2021 Return Training and Gear Prep Begins

    For what it is worth...... Two years ago I did a mountain back pack hunt with a pack that was a weighed 65#. I was in really good cardio shape and was doing hours and hours of cardio each week.....like 7-12 hours a week. My trip was good but I struggled a bit. This last year I went on the...

    KUIU back pack for sheep hunt

    Really looking forward to new Ultra bags. I really like mine but I can't replace it if I need too. I've got a few repair issues and I would love to just be able to go buy a new one but they don't offer them anymore.

    KUIU back pack for sheep hunt

    Oh one other thing. The Kuiu gun carry system sucks. I don't like it at all. Go get the kifaru gun bearer and use that system. It's a ton better if you need access to your gun. If you just want to have the gun attached to your pack then the Kuiu is fine but if you are going to be in...

    KUIU back pack for sheep hunt

    I use the Kuiu ultra 7000 (they dont make the bag anymore). That is about the right size if you need the capacity for a 10 day backpack hunt. The new suspension is so much better on the Kuiu packs. I did try on the Stone Glacier pack on with weight in it at the sheep show and that pack...

    110 Nosler Accubonds

    I always try to stay with the heavier bullets. They will maintain better down range velocity and energy. The lighter the bullet the less energy they will have at impact. The difference gets really dramatic past 400-500 yards. Go do a drop chart on the different bullets with your bullet...
