We will be hunting unit 83 just out of Weston. I've hunted the Maroon bells wilderness and sangre de Cristos both time right around 10500 to 11000 I start getting a little sick. I've alway been physically in shape but with a little age creep ( almost like point creeep ) I want to make the best of theses hunts
Thanks
