I found out last week that I was selected for the Ibex Population Herd Reduction Hunt occurring March 3-7, 2018. The hunt is for a Female/Immature with 15" or less horns. After the harvest, I can take the skull in to NMGF for seal attachment. This will then enter me into a special incentive drawing for an any weapon mature billie hunt.
I have a question:
1. What do you recommend that I carry with me for this hunt? Should I plan on staying up on the mountain and therefore carry a lot with me? Or, will it be possible to remain at the bottom for the majority or return to the bottom each night? I am going to DIY this hunt with help from friends, so I just want to plan accordingly. I will be shooting a 7mm Remington Magnum that I am comfortable shooting to 700 yards if necessary.
As always, thank you for all the info and advice you all give. I appreciate it very much.
