Edit: On other thing any resources you think would be beneficial for a new sheep hunter?

Thanks in advance guys
You can vary the pack load if you're willing to make multiple trips or set up stations along your route. Good advice is not to bag yourself trying to carry too much in one go.

For optics, I strongly recommend you check out Vanguard - I recently bought their Endeavor ED II binos and I'm very happy with them. I compared them with virtually all comparables in the $500-$1000 range and they were the best. I haven't had any experience with their spotters but if they're anything like the binos you'll be happy.
