If you are out of shape in the flat lands of Ark, you are going to be hurting in the mountains of Colorado. You have to cover as much ground as it takes to find the elk. They usually do not come to you, you have to go to them.
In the next couple weeks, try and get in the best shape you can. Begin hydrating with water and hope for the best. Hunting the Rockies is an amazing experience. That being said, you cannot over prepare. I have yet to meet someone out there that didnt say..."I wish I didnt work out as hard in the summer in prep for this hunt"
