It won't be until 2018 but I'm very excited already and it gives me lots of incentive to get my butt in shape. Sorry to also inform it will be rifle hunt as its not likely I would get to try it a second time. Just had to share as I have been dreaming of one of these sheep hunts for years

Congratulations...
I went to the NWT back in '94. Scored on a nice ram, but couldn't find a caribou that interested me. I took a Winchester Model 70 in 7 MM Rem mag shooting 162 gr, Hornady handloads. They had just come back out with controlled round feed and this one had a 26" inch barrel. The gun was way too heavy for a backpack hunt. I don't know if your hunt is backpack or horseback, but that is something to consider.
I was 35 at the time of my hunt and I spent a solid year getting into better shape. I was already in good shape, just not sheep shape. The altitude and walking the tundra will wear you out. I ran 6 -9 miles three days a week. Went to the football stadium and carried my pack with 75 lbs. of lead shot in it up and down the bleachers 3 days a week wearing my hunting boots. I was a lean, mean, fighting machine! So I thought. The guide would walk up those mountains leaving me behind every time.
If have any questions just send me a PM. I'll try to help as much as possible.
