[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1087010, member: 77249"] Us flatlanders respond in many different ways to higher elevation. A friend of mine with MD on his name liked to hunt Colorado. He had to go a week early and put up with a headache for about 5 days. He said he could not get a prescription drug that would help. I learned in 1992 do not let someone push you over your capacity from about 9800 ft. up. You are there to shoot and shoot accurately. When I went to New Mexico in 2009 I was 66 years old. The first morning I went with our crew and guide. Walked till we was huffing and puffing then stop. The second morning I told the guide I will walk my pace. 100 yards stop breathe 4 or 5 good deep breaths, then another 100 yards. When they stopped to rest I passed them and went on up the mountain, The guide caught up with me. At 8:05 am I was glad I had walked my pace. At 220 yds. The bullet hit within an inch of my aim point. I danced a little jig and was camp cook. As hunters we must stay in shooting composure, Not running a foot race up a mountain. [/QUOTE]
