I would get a prescription for Diamox from your doctor for altitude sickness. You may not need it, but it's a lifesaver if you do. Cheap insurance. Had one in my group on my first elk hunt that had to use it.
you gonna get to go this fall?This is what I already know.
Seven days horseback everyday.
I have ridden horses on a non hunting seven day trip, and although I like horseback riding I do not look forward to the aches I know that will come with that much riding. Yes I know fitness is gonna be a huge issue. I would say that in the 90% fitness range of my age group, but I plan to push my fitness hard in preparing for this once in a lifetime opportunity. So this is a huge focus for me. My son is an athlete so he is fine, and he is really riding me to not slow him down… so I got my own pressure along with his…
They said it could be snowing or hot - they cannot predict the weather.
They said be prepared for five mile daily movements… I assume from camp and stalk?
I am a good shooter, and We (son) do Multigun matches which always require awkward shooting positions and speed. So I am not so worried about shooting from a contorted hasty firing position. But I am gonna practice a lot on longer range shooting. That is one question I have - how far are the shots and can I use my M70 Featherweight in 270?
We will be very close to Yellowstone.
Tags are unlikely this year most likely another year waiting.
I am kinda a boot fanatic, so I know what I will need and the importance breaking them in.
