Prepare for High Altitude

July 22, 20241 min read

Hey, fellow high-altitude adventurers! 👋🏔️ If you're chasing those majestic elk in the Colorado Rockies, remember we're playing by Mother Nature's rules up here! Don't let altitude sickness sneak up on you while you're above 10,000'—that's when it tends to get real.

Keep your eyes peeled for those pesky symptoms: dizziness, headaches, and that general "ugh" feeling. Trust me, it can hit harder than a bull elk during the rut. 🦌💥

Stay safe and enjoy the hunt! And if you start feeling off, take it as a sign to ease up and acclimate. Our rocky playground is no joke!

Reach out to Hutch at Hutchonhunting.com for more elk-hunting tips.
