    Covid Booster

    I’m double vaccinated with both shots of Sputnik V and both shots of Moderna. The Moderna shots were tough, especially the second dose. I was essentially bedridden for 72 hrs with the second jab. Not looking forward to the booster shot in 2022.

    things NOT to take on a guided hunt

    exactly what he said. I would listen to this advise and follow closely. You will be surprised how quickly weight adds up and how much extra weight (spotter, tripod, stove, etc) sucks towards the back half of a long backpack sheep hunt over many miles. Just not required on a guided dall sheep...
