[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2769776, member: 55998"] I live at over 5,000 feet in Colorado. I exercise at least 3 days a week mainly legs and balance, but full body as well. At 5’7”, 152, and working on my 76th year my blood pressure is 115/80 at a 58 pulse. Great shape I think, but hunting at 8,000 feet and up just isn’t what it use to be. I hate heavy guns! I have used an old Remy 78 in 30-06 for years always carrying it in my hands because I hunt dark timber and need to be ready for an instant shot at any second. I’ve been looking for a Kimber Montana in 30-06 for a couple of years now to reduce the weight I carry. Only the first cold bore shot really counts IMO&E. Almost any light rifle works. Believe me walking miles every day for a week to 10 days your arms and shoulders get exhausted I don’t care how great of shape you’re in. I only hope I’m still hunting when I get as old as some of you! LOL! [/QUOTE]
