I'm looking at my 1st Mnt Goat hunt next year in BC and wondering about physicality of the hunt. At 56 and living in Houston area (@ sea-level) I'm in good shape with plenty of experience day-pack hunting elk, Ibex, bear, deer, etc. in the mountains of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. I realize this does not compare to a multi-day pack in the mountain elevations of the northern states and BC. I'm planning a guided early (Aug - Sept) hunt for the "warmer" weather and interested how others prepared for the elevation and physical conditioning.
