[QUOTE="TX mountain hunter, post: 2356684, member: 29141"] 1. Thank you for many of with your positive comments towards helping me get to where I’m aiming. 2 Thank you to the grouchy old geezers for the reminder of how I do not want to act when I grow old or at least more experienced (no offense intended whatsoever to the older guys who’ve been very helpful). 3. And thank you for those who gave some positive thought provoking ideas for change of direction. For those in group two.. Getting to where I’m starting takes > 5000’ of gain and double digit miles. The longer and harder I hunt the better the odds of getting the amazing experience of packing one out, which are already stacked somewhere around 2% success per year. As I’ll likely never draw or have the money to buy a bighorn hunt, to get a sheep will likely take hundreds or thousands of miles, and years of persistence and learning. The way I see it every pound gives me either an extra day or every ounce that extra bit of energy to get to that next glassing point. Per your recommendations on preparation, I did lean up 25+ lb already and am training year round to accomplish this goal. Great comments by all, keep them coming! 😃 [/QUOTE]
