That's a dandy for sure, very nice!  :tup:

I've spent a fair amount of time at Copper Mtn. Colorado the base elevation is a little under 10K and you are spot on those kinds of elevations are no joke and everything is harder.  You have to make sure you drink plenty of water because the headaches can be brutal if you don't.  You acclimate after a few days but there's just no way around it, everything is harder at those elevations.

Congrats on a successful hunt.  I went on a DIY hunt with my brother 20+ years ago and remember the first couple of days at high altitude!  Great bull!

Hunting above 10k ft. Is no joke, one of the hardest hunts  I have ever done. What a beautiful place though if you ever get the chance you should go.

I almost died at 8,000 last year. You're the real deal, Ross. Great bull. :tup:

Beautiful bull!! Did you go with a guide?
