I'm 72 and my hunting partner is 75. Yes, we still hunt the high steep stuff...but with reservations. We live at about 4k so we have a big advantage over someone from sea level. The only way to get acclimated to high altitude is to spend time there. The biggest issue is the aforementioned problem of getting several hundred lb of meat from the corpse back to camp. I solved that with llamas but I realize that those are a specialty thing, unavailable to most hunters. How much can you carry on your back and how many times can you repeat it?
