Wondering what all glass you guys are packing. First year sheep hunt and don't want to pack the heavy Leicas . Pocket binos?
Oh, and leave the .375 Ultra Mag at home. I’m guessing that you can tip a sheep over with a much lighter rifle.

I don't profess to be a great sheep hunter but I read a book by Tony Russ who is. He basically says a spotter is all you need and mentions that certain areas he will also take pocket binos for quick looks up into draws. Id highly recommend you read it for yourself It really helped me prepare for my first sheep hunt.

I do believe the OP is after dall sheepTony hunts Dalls.....they are white and easier to spot with the naked eye unless there is snow. Any of the other species are tougher to see....unless there is snow.
I like my Swarovision 10x42 EL binos and angled Swaro magnesium body 7 yr old 20-60x65mm HD. Neither are light but do the job for me. I have lighter high quality Leica Ultravid 8x32 binos and a Nikon 13-30 x 50mm HD spotter that stay home on sheep hunts.
As per 80 mm or 95mm scopes....I am not willing to carry the weight or have the larger scope taking up volume in pack on a backpack hunt. YMMV, good luck with your decision.
