1 month out from doing a walkout 8 day Sheep hunt (10 days including travel). 10 miles as the crow flies to base camp, then bivy out of camp the surrounding range. Ramping up training and diet and getting all odds and ends together. Done plenty of moose, caribou and bear hunting up here in Alaska with success. Never truly sheep hunted up here since I had a bad experience and had to call my first attempt a "field trip". Lesson learned was that good friends don't equal good hunting partners, so choose them carefully and make sure they can hack it before taking them out, for any species. Anyways, im a former D1 football player and feel like I was born for sheep hunting and finally getting the chance, sharing my gear list ill be taking out. This is a list that I have been revamping specifically for sheep for the most part. If you have extensive experience with this sort of hunting, your feedback and wisdom is appreciated on the gear lineup, specifically if something on this list has failed you. Ill be revisiting this post to give a full update on what worked, what didn't work, and hopefully report of success. Thanks in advance.
