It looks like I'll be hunting at high altitude for the first time and have a few questions for the guys who have been there and done that.
I live at sea level and always have. I expect to be hunting at 11,000 ft. I've never been above about 5,000 ft at any time that I can think of.
A. With regard to "altitude sickness" - have any of you guys experienced this and how did it affect your hunt? Did you take or do anything to prevent or remedy the problem?
B. With regard to bullet trajectory at moderate ranges (400-600 yds) - what change in bullet impact should be expected over a trajectory that was verified at sea level?
I appreciate any feedback that you guys can provide.
