    I'll go first.

    With 2 of us including water, salt and one rifle we were exactly 102lbs 6 ounces. This is for ~10 days. I think I could drop that a few lbs but at the sacrifice of some comfort.

    Wow, although I have never hunted sheep, I would never pack water, especially in an alpine setting where the sheep usually are. For places with inferior water, a filter can save a lot of weight.

    It took us 6hr to hike up to the alpine, with no water sources along the way.Be prepared to carry water...Peter

    I use horses but I pack about 30lbs on my day trips remember a full body cape with horns and every ounce of meat will be 110-130lbs for thinhorns anyway. When you pack one out by yourself you hurt for days but man its worth it!!!
