Just heard about HuntTalk, started the podcast from the beginning the other day and was able to get away and come over here to check it out. I've perused a bit but thought I'd post this up here.
I'm getting ready for my First Dall's Sheep Hunt here in Alaska and me and a buddy are going in ourselves. It's an Any Ram Archery hunt (DS140) and so I'm not going to be too picky. Here is my gear list as of right now. Some of these pieces are on their way and some haven't been ordered yet.
So that is it. I've been doing some hiking and more then anything I've lost 30+ pounds this year to prepare. I have 2 more months and I'm hoping to shed another 15-20 pounds and be as close too 200 as I can for when we start out. September 30th we will be hiking in roughly 15 miles, opening day for the archery hunt is October 1st and we have taken off the 30th-11th - season is 10/1 to 10/10. Any advice and help is appreciated. Thanks for looking and the help!
