[QUOTE="kaboku68, post: 298032, member: 9141"] Cardio conditioning is just one element of successful sheep hunting. Knowing how to use your gear and having equipment that is tested is important as well. Strength is another element. You can fly into some sheep country and not have to bust in but to do the whole thing right you have got to have a plan and cover all of the bases. You can't go sheep hunting with a rifle that is 3 MOA @ 100yards and expect to crank an old 40 inch buster at 450 yards. My point is that I have taken marathoners and members of the elite special forces only to have them give up the ghost after 5 or 6 miles of busting alder and devil's club. I could just let them try to go home on their own but what would you tell their spouse or family if they didn't make it. You have to be a bit different to go all the way. I have been up in the TMA and have watched a hunter shoot a whole box of shells on about a 36" ram and the sheep was less than 200 yards away. It walked away none the less for wear to die by a well placed 300 Win Mag shot three days later. The number 1. thing about conditioning is that it will extend your hunting life by years. It will also extend your life and that is important as well. Sincerely, Thomas [/QUOTE]
