[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1259378, member: 14204"] Even if you still live at 3500' elevation but if you have not put in your time and effort prepping yourself physically for the 6500-8500' hunt, you will have a rough awakening. I live right around 3300' elevation but I work out 3 times a week all year around. Nothing fancy but I do 30-45 minutes at 20% grade on the treadmill to simulate my climb along with upper and lower body weight training. I hunt around 5000-7500' elevation. A week before thanksgiving, I guided my son and his friend from FL on a mule deer hunt. They are both Capts in the USAF and are very physically fit 28 year olds but they were having a hard time keeping up with this 54 year old body and I have to slow down a few time. :D Good luck on your hunt.
