Here is my gear list for this coming sheep season. Not included is what I wear: boots, gaiters, pants, collared shirt, and hat. Also water and food is not included. Usually walk around with one litre. I keep a flat bottle handy to fill up and chug at streams. Food will be around 1.5# per day with a little extra.

This gear only list (no food or water) is just under 40#. Might leave the wiggys depending on area. I've had everything in the mountains, but haven't had a chance to test the kill kit on a ram.....yet
. Will change out a few things before season opener. Want to go to a floor less shelter next year with a wood stove, but my tiny tent is good for now. Salt will be stashed or will pack 1# of it.
I am open to any suggestions. Thanks to all who posted their lists and tips.
