Filling your pockets? No spotting scope? Seriously? What sort advice is that to give a guy who’s never hunted sheep before? That’s some pretty backwards thinking. I believe some of the guys who say they’ve done it, but that’s not how you’re gunna learn to hunt sheep. You can get away with cutting a few corners once you’re comfortable and and understand what you’re doing, but until then skimping out on gear is gunna get you in trouble.
Please don’t do something stupid and go into the mountains your first hunt without a backpack or a spotting scope. That and a rifle are the three most important items you’re gunna need. Everyone is gunna have they’re own opinions but I can not possibly see an upside too leaving any of those behind, I just can’t understand it. If you can’t afford a spotting scope either borrow one or wait till you can afford one. Sell your Binos and buy a spotting scope if need be, I’d leave my binos before I’d ever consider not being a spotting scope. And I don’t even get started on how ridiculous an idea it is to carry a ram without a back pack.
Not trying to offend anyone here, Just giving what a feel is responsible advice to a green sheep hunter looking for opinions.
Good luck my friend
