In 2017 pulled a once in a lifetime sheep tag for the Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge in Oregon. My partners weren't able to go or had died.

I was 71, fat, with a bad knee and two hips I had to have replaced shortly thereafter. I looked for a guide and was lucky enough to find a good one.

The Leica APO-Televid 65 W Kit with Vario eyepiece 25-50 was the spotter my guide used most of the time. He also used 15x56 Leica binoculars a good deal.

I booked with High Desert Outfitters, MAIL; PO BOX 60, ADEL, OR, 97620-0060, Charles O. Messner. I would recommend him highly. I learned a lot from him.

Despite big problems with wildfires I had a good time and got a nice ram.
