I am now down to two weeks before the start of my sheep hunt. I have been doing a lot of preparing and training but I am still a bit concerned about the pack (actually really concerned ha ha). I am hunting desert sheep in Utah and expect A LOT of hiking for the unit I am hunting.
The first part of my hunt we will likely hunt the same area for about 4-5 days. What would be the target weight for your pack (gun included).
I have hunted a lot over the years but have never done a pack trip like this. The last thing I want anyone on here to believe is that I know anything about sheep hunting or long trips.
Given that the first leg of the trip is only 4 days, I am hoping to keep the weight between 50-60lbs? I have been training with about 56 pounds (yes, I do realize I need to up the weight).
I do have my sons coming as well and therefore, I will let them pack my spotting scope and tripod
Thank you!
