Hey guys, I leave August 20th for my Dall hunt in the NWT with Gana River Outfitters. It's a horseback hunt, so a different ball game than a traditional backpack hunt. I was hoping to get some feedback on my gear setup from all the experienced sheep hunters on here.
Kifaru Rekoning Pack, debating on getting a lid for it just for ease of throwing my puffy layers or rain gear in the lid for quick access.
Tikka 6,5 prc 20" barrel shooting factory eldx, or eldm. Both shoot great. Maven RS 1.2 for the scope in UM rings, hopefully my Rokstock comes in.
Base Layers, 1 Black Ovis merino long sleeve, 1 Kuiu Peleton 118 short sleeve, 1 Kuiu 120 merino zip off bottoms, 2 pairs Kuiu boxers, 1 xoskin boxer. 1 Kuiu neck gaiter. 3 pairs of socks.
Mid layer, 1 Sitka Core Lightweight Hoodie, 1 Marsupial Gear Suntech Hoodie, 1 Kuiu Strong Fleece 210, 2 pairs Sitka Traverse pants.
Outer layer, Kryptek down jacket, I may upgrade this cause the fabric is pretty shinny, although I dont know if thats something to worry about. Kings down pants, dont know if they are really needed but if we have to siwash out on the mountain it'd be nice to have them. Kuiu gaiters.
Rain gear, Kuiu Chugach jacket and Yukon pants.
Kuiu Kenai packable gloves, Kuiu leather palmed gloves. If the Kenai are too much I can swap them out for a lightweight merino glove.
Sleep system, WM Ponderoso MF 15* bag with over fill, Thermarest Neo Air Xlite NXT, Exped pillow.
Optics, EL 10x42, Leica 2800.com rangefinder, ATS 20-60X65 spotter, Tricer tripod and head. The spotter may get left at base camp, but it would be great to be able to watch the sheep.
Misc. Lightweight knife, Petzel Tikka headlamp, Zoleo sat communicator, Black Diamond Trail Back trekking poles, Spartan bipod, wind checker. Rite in the Rain book and pen, Iphone 13 pro max for pictures, battery bank, 1 liter nalgene and a 3 liter bladder.
I'm probably forgetting something but that should about cover it. Is there anything you guys think I should drop out of this list or add to it? Anywhere to save a bit of weight? Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone this season on your hunts!
