What was the weather like. I will be better than Minnesota, which is where I am now, but how much better is the question.
In your photos you are wearing jeans. Was that enough protection from thorns? I have chaps I wear pheasant hunting. I was thinking about bringing them.

We did hunt with an outfitter. Y-Barr-A Outfitters. Nice guys. I don't think you could hunt these things without an outfitter. All the property in West Texas is privately owned with hunting leases. You need to hunt with someone who has lease on a ranch or two. There is almost zero public land!
The weather was in the upper 40's and lower 50's. A bit windy, but real nice.
Jeans were OK, but your chaps will help. I took my long shirt off one day, the cat claw thorns tore my arms up. Our guide wore jeans.
I hope you have a good trip and see some big sheep!
