[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2139637, member: 92702"] Yes, you need to be able to shoot across to the next ridge. Being a flatlander like yourself, I quickly found an issue hunting in mountains I was completely unprepared for. Shin Splints. Happens when going downhill and extending your toes lower than your heels. Walking or running stairs will do nothing to prepare for this. After the misery of my first hunt in the Mountains, I prepared differently. I found a steep hill along the river. It was only maybe 100ft high at the most, but good enough. Started with a backpack and 2 gal of water in it. Emptied at the top and took twice as long coming down as up. Kept at it until I could carry 5gal both up and down the hill without pain or being winded. Enjoyed my next trip out West. [/QUOTE]
