2 months isn't late in the game and I've been at scene March when I bought a new MT Bike. I just stepped it up when I drew this tag. My problem is pushing myself, at age 56 I want to climb the hills like I'm in my 20s.

No doubt it's gonna hurt, just pick a pace and stay persistent, will feel real easy to pull the plug at some point during the hunt, but your mental toughness will win. Enjoy yourself, pretty cool experience indeed.

My problem is pushing myself, at age 56 I want to climb the hills like I'm in my 20s.My dad and I drew this tag when he was about your age. He was not in real good shape, so he hunted close to the top. He had his chance, but did not connect. I bust my butt every day and went in deep. I did not see a bull within shooting distance. The elk are where you find them, not neccisarily in the bottom. Just don't make the mistake we did and camp on the Oregon side and hike in every morning. I don't remember how far the hike in was, but it took way too much energy and time.
