I,m 47 years old,but by most standards I'm in excellent condition (wrestling coach) and intend to work hard on being tip top when I arrive.We will do 1 scouting trip which will give me some idea what the area is like and allow me to see how I hold up hiking.I'm a little concerned with altitude (not attitude) adjustment,since a year ago or so we did some hiking on Mt. Harvard and for 1 day at least did experience some headaches.I've heard that you can take herbal ginger for a few days prior and it has good results.Has anyone else (flatlander) tried this,and with what results?

Has anyone else on the board hunted the wilderness near Ridgeway?I'd like some feedback as to what to expect for Elk, as well as deer.

Elkcampmaster, yes I've taken many Nebraska deer,both rifle and ML but never hunted in the mountains.
