Bartell left his coffee crisp at home, but I got an Inreach message from him that says he wished he had brought it.

Is 54 too old to hunt Stone Sheep?

I've seen guys in their 70's backpacking for Stone's Sheep.

I arrowed a Stone on a backpack hunt last year when I was 63. Just got back from an NWT Dall hunt......arrowed a nice Dall! You just go slower when you are old, but it is a great reason to stay in shape/get in shape. When I was starting archery sheep hunting in 1980, never dreamed I'd complete a grand slam (ever) when I was 64, but it happened.

my dad and I hiked over 100km looking for rams when he got his last one at 71. he worked hard to stay in shape, hunting season is his biggest motivation to keep at it for sure.

I know Mark has already left but I'll add a tidbit.

I was told by an adventure racer that macadamia nuts are the highest calorie/fat per ounce. I always have a few in my pack.
