Check out what Brad plans to brought along on his 10 day Dall sheep hunt and if you have any questions or ideas of your own please let us know in the comments below.

What brand/ model ammo case?
Good to see this kind of content.
Rincon in dyneema. Stop it !
Zero chance a 6.5cm had less wind drift than a 28 nosler at 530 yards.
What was around your camp site? It looked like you had a mini fence system. Curious what that was and why.
As expected, a really great set-up.
Pumped to see the Dyneema tent!
