[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2220464, member: 11101"] I am in the "get there 3 days early to let your body acclimate to the altitude" camp. I live at 785' elevation and hunted elk/deer hunted in Colorado 3 times. I'm talking about staying in a hotel at 6K altitude for the first day, just walking around town, then the 2nd and 3rd day, go higher up and walk around, nothing strenuous, just walk. The 2 times I got there 3 days in advance I had no issues. I also took a scouting trip out there before the 10 day mule deer hunt, stayed at 6K, went up to 10K-11K on ATV's and walked around to scout/glass. came back down to 6K at the hotel. No issues for the 3 days I was there. For the hunt we went right to 9K and set up camp, hunting the next day at 10K-11K, then back to camp at 9K every night. The 3rd day I really didn't feel like going out hunting. After that I was fine. Don't know if it was altitude sickness or not, but I sure as heck didn't have any desire to hunt that day. All 3 hunting trips + the scouting trip I drove out there. [/QUOTE]
