High Elevation Archery Elk Hunting
Hey Guys,
I am preparing for a guided Archery Bull ELk Hunt in Idaho this Sept from the 21st thru 28th of Sept. My question is two fold. First does hunting at 9000-10000 feet in elevation effect arrow flight due to the thin air, in other words if you use your 30 yard pin at sea level and use the same pin at 9000 feet will it hit the same spot? Is is enough to need to compensate for? Second question is at that elevation how difficult is it to really hunt. Do you ever really catch your breath? Should you expect to shoot while breathing heavily? I am 38yrs old and 240lbs. I can get up the mountains pretty good at 3500ft but I expect to be sucking wind come this Sept.
Any input will be greatly appreaciated.[/align]
