Training day for first elk hunt

[MeatMissile]

Good idea to start training, it all helps but the altitude is what really gets me. I live at sea level and hunt at 6-9,000'. At first I can't suck in enough air, get winded even on gentle slopes. Started taking Gingko biloba a month or so before and it seems to help. If there is anywhere for you to do some serious side hilling that will help because your going to always be on a sidehill (let's you know if your boots are really as comfortable as you think they are too).
Bottom line, I'm 75, if I can do it so can you.

Breaking in boots can’t be overstated.
