[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 2114764, member: 102560"] Nice sheep...glad you had a good hunt.30 inch rams are never easy.... 33 Nosler is a awesome round to hunt sheep in windy conditions too. I owned one and loved it--I shoot a 338 RCM and 338 Norma as I'm always experimenting you can't go wrong with a 338. In the country we hunt...you don't need super stiff boots but a good leather boot with aggressive tread and good support. I even suggest good gaiters or tall tops. I have a set of Russell's that have 15 in tops and they turn a lot thorns.
