Bodyfat 12% weight 180. Resting HR 52.
Have been doing CrossFit for 6.5 years. Placed about 55 in CF open (scaled) two years ago. Will likely be same this year.
Dead 285#, backsquat 225#, press 112.5#. Do CF 3-4x weekly.
I also do a dedicated strength routine 3x weekly.
Knees hips ankles and back 100%. No ROM limitations.
Hell, by the numbers you've got me beat, and I do this every year. The pain of CrossFit has to help with the mental toughness. Don't delay, and let us know how we can help. And practice sleeping in caves.
If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.

most guides recommend you be able to press at least 120. And how about your cleans? no mention of that. My grandpa cleans his garage 3-4 times per week and he's nowhere near fit enough for a sheep hunt.

It was a cwh2 signature move one season.

Yeah, he does kind of look like the guy on the GEICO commercials.

To the OP, you are in better shape than many sheep hunters. Just book a hunt and get some experience backpacking on weekend trips etc. while you wait for your hunt date to arrive.

Damn you have better fitness numbers than most the firefighters at my station! Physically you are vert able to do it.
My dad did a backpack elk hunt with me in Nevada last year at 71 and damnit if he wasn't out hiking me, and I make a living walking around with an extra 100 pounds on. He is fit and always active and tough as hell so you should have no problem.....if your mind is right.

I think you will be fine, just spend a bunch of time out in the steeps if you can.

RinB,
I hope you pulled the trigger because I believe from a physical perspective you most certainly can do it. And from everything else I've heard, there's no reason not to.
I haven't done serious sheep hunting in many years, but I've got a couple Dalls hanging on the wall. Last year's desert sheep in NV was a much easier gig. I'm just down the road (Mountain Home) and in your city most every week so if you'd like to chat, please shoot me a PM.
Bob
