    • For sheep hunts: Every ounce counts! Keep it light!

    Get in shape before your hunt! Come in the best physical shape as possible. Train as if the success of your hunt depends on it.

    Break those leather boots in long before you get here. Many Alaskan sheep hunters have ended their hunts because of shredded feet. Don't let this happen to you!

    Hit the range well in advance of coming on this hunt! You may only get one shot at the trophy of a lifetime. Make it count!
