Preparing for a Bighorn Hunt I'm fortunate enough to live less than two hours from some of the best bighorn hunting in the world. Hence, I've pursued sheep a number of years now, and over this course I have developed a few opinions pertaining to gear selection I feel is invaluable to anyone considering a bighorn hunt.
