I'm leaving on the 18th for my first sheep hunt.  I've been to the great AK for goat, black bear, moose, and sitka, successful on all.  This year, I have nutted out on the gun I'm taking.   First the 8lb .270win, that I know and trust.  But then maybe I need something lighter....got a NULA rifle at the last minute, and haven't worked out all the bugs.....getting nervous, but that .30-06 weights about 6.5lbs.  I've been through all the gear you can think of and, there's just no way to check it out in this Georgia heat.  Anyway, my wife and office staff just wish I'd leave so they could get my attention again.
My Dad (RIP) used to say that you don't count today, or the last day, which makes is 16 days, which is really just two weeks.........can I hold my breath that long?
