I’ve been prioritizing the mountain hunts so far while I’m young

I turn 40 this year, I really wished I got after it on mountain hunts when I was younger. Not to mention how much they have gone up in price.

40 ! …..oh to be young again. I had my first sheep hunt in my late 50’s. I’m now in my mid 60’s and have put off Africa until I’m too old for the hills.

Especially those Sheep.

Why not both? I just hit the big 60 and decided I need to knock out a couple of sheep hunts before it’s too late . Bonus getting in shape for them . Elephant hunt in May , Desert sheep in late October, then Marco Polo next fall.
I decided I want no regrets no more time to put them off.

It is all about balance, lol one mountain hunt and one African hunt a year, till I am too old to go!

If I was married to Gina Rhinehart I’d be doing way more than what you suggest. But, unfortunately I’m not.

I guess you’re right. I’m trying to balance fitness with finances. After each trip I reassess. I’m off hunting public land chamois and red in a few days. When I recover from that trip I’ll check out the knees and finances and reassess my priorities. .
