Ed,

Last year at 69, I drew a DCUA tag and had a flight service drop me and a buddy off in the high country. We set up our camp and spent a day close by observing distant bands of sheep. On the second hunt day I took a nice mature Dall's ram and we packed him back to our camp site.

Exactly a year prior I had my heart rewired and a decade earlier, the Mayo Clinic had saved most of my lungs. As bear advises, find a guide that is will to work with you. Sheep hunting need not be a hike over an entire mountain range as sheep move around too. I hiked 2-3 miles for mine but while waiting for our flight out, sheep were appearing within a few hundred yards of the tent.

Go for it!
