[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 2828873, member: 115081"] Dall sheep in the rugged terrain in west Texas. That's gotta be a tough hunt rifle or bow. You're assured failure if your not physically capable of such a strenuous hunt. I was watching a grizzly hunt in cable. The hunter was a man with more money than brains. It was a five day hunt in the Aleutians. Each day of the hunt ended early due to the hunter becoming completely exhausted. On the fourth day he had a once in a lifetime shot at a huge boar. He lined up and had nearly all the time in the world. He took the shot from less than 40 yards and missed. You could tell the guide was furious. Before you take that hunt of a lifetime get in shape. Walk a few miles each day, slowly build up your stamina. Then wear a weighted backpack then take a longer walk or hike. Do you really wanna blow thousands of dollars and months of planning only to be so outta shape that you have to be medivaced out half way through the hunt or worse? I prepared for a year for a week of extreme hiking in Zion National Park. I thought I was ready. Nothing can prepare you for hiking with an elevation change of nearly 1500 ft. Thin air at altitude and 1000 foot and higher cliffs on either side of the trail. You're in tough luck if you think you'll get medical help in the rough terrain of the Davis mountains or the steep climb of Angels Landing. Zero cell phone reception and hours wait for help to arrive if you do get a signal. [/QUOTE]
