Number one being in better shape than you ever have is not enough! Start getting there right now!
Best thing you can do is spend a few days hiking around at altitude before starting to hunt.
NO ALCOHOL!!
Every guide will tell you that they get clients that can't make it to the elk just over the ridge.
I work out and diet all year for one thing: Chukar hunting up with the Big Horn Sheep; so getting to elk is like pheasant hunting.
I've had altitude sickness and it is down right scary.
