[QUOTE="Marble, post: 1021576, member: 51354"] I've been hunting in high altitude in CO for 15 years. Taken many newbies with me and pushed the limits when hiking. Don't worrry about the altitude. Your body has ways to help with it and can compensate in the short term to function at its best. The best thing you can do is to be in decent shape, carry a light pack and know your body. My dad is 64 and climbed to 11600+ this year. He is in moderate shape and good health. Cutting your teeth on a cow is good. Plan out your hunt and consider renting a horse. They are life savers the high altitude ranges. I have battled cancer, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and a lack of ability and time to get into shape last year. I still made it to 12000+ and was just fine. [/QUOTE]
