[QUOTE="softtail103, post: 2367413, member: 18466"] You need to think about the game as well. This is a person who does not have a sub 6# rifle. To just get one and climb a mountain to shoot a Ram? I don’t think so. Climb a mountain with a 6# rifle and then take a quality shot to put the animal down is incredibly difficult. My comment is more to prepare for the shot when you are fully taxed and tired. A light rifle is not going to be the answer to this kind of hunt. Im not calling anyone out of shape but someone has to speak up for the animal. Also have hunted a Ram in Wa state where you get one in a lifetime. I fully understand what this person has in front of them. I carried a 8.5# rifle with pack and was very tired when we hit the 3/4 point. But when you get behind your rifle the adrenaline and heavy breathing you need some weight to help steady your rifle. We were looking at 400-700 yard shots. This kind of hunt is not for the unprepared. [/QUOTE]
