Where you will hunt

Territory

Elk hunting in steep, rugged, high-elevation mountain terrain is really hard on a body. Simply stated, your fitness level will determine whether or not you can hunt hard all day for days on end, covering maximum ground, searching for those often-elusive pockets of unpressured elk, then pack the meat back to the truck when you’re successful. You can’t get in “elk shape” in a week, or a month, either. Make fitness part of your lifestyle.
