[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 1065166, member: 12469"] CONGRATS!!! If you have never been on a sheep hunt physical conditioning and mental toughness are critical. Get with the outfitter and get a gear list and start filling it{the fun part}. If this is a backpack hunt check out articles in the hunting fool or any of the other hunting sites like this one. START A WORKOUT PROGRAM TODAY! If you have to hire an instructor at a local gym to help DO IT. Take a real camera not just a cell phone. Pictures are a lasting reminder of all the things you see and experience. Keep it in a pocket or on your belt. If it is in your pack you will not take very many pictures.
