My problem is, as you get points you get older. In the last 2 years, I've had 2 different cancers. Then to top it of I had heart surgery yesterday. But if it's the last thing I do (& it probably will be) I'm going.

Newfies can be a 1 day hunt as long as you dont get multiple flats.

I was on here a few years ago. But I had to sign up again, because I have not post in a while.

the late one. But Im putting all the time i can into the Potash hunt. So it is possible We will only be there Nov. 10 to 20th.
I actually have some really good sheep guides for both units. My health is so bad, i just want to have any days covered that they can't be there. its going to take everything I've got to get a desert.

Those dates and you will have the Mtn to yourselfs.

As stated above, getting a ram on the Newfys should not be a big problem, all be it the rams on that rock are small.

The point game does favor us old farts, and by the time we draw, most of us have dodged the grim reaper a time or two. I'm glad you are pushing through Buff! I fought through a heart attack that should have killed me in order to get my last sheep.

Honestly sheep hunting forced me to get in the best shape I can be in, and overall it has enhanced my life in ways most will never comprehend, because they don't get to experience it.
I hope your good fortune does the same for you and your wife! Best of luck Buff, and keep us posted.

Thank you, we think alike. I went to New Zealand & hunted Tahr when my doctor told me not to even think about it. Best, most exciting hunt I've ever had.
