What's the highest you have gone to hunt? The highest I have hunted is about 11500 feet. Coyote Ridge in A17 in California. I shot a Whitetailed Jack Rabbit on top of that ridge. There were some bucks up there but they gave me the slip.  Jim

The highest I've been was 11200 feet hunting elk outside Aspen Colorada.Done it twice.I know one thing as someone who's lived at sea level his whole life.There ain't no air up there  :(    :(    :(

I arrowed a mtn goat at about 12,600-12,700 feet in Colorado (in Park County above Montezuma)

James Wrenn

About 600ft is about as high as I have hunted before.I think I might have hunted below sea level one time down in SC for the lowest.  :)

11,000+ I think in the San Juans Pagosa Spring area. I'm not sure exactly, I'm still oxygen deprived and that was 12-13 years ago!

About 3000 and something for me here in New England.

Around 10,500 in the Manti-LaSalle NF in Eastern Utah. Man, there were some big bucks up there in the early 90s.

I guess about 10,300.  Saw nice muley bucks but no shot.  I'm looking at that high ridgeline right now (Sandia Peak in Albuquerque).  I'm about 5,200' at home.  About 10 years ago it was bow hunt only (still is) but much more limited now.  But at least at the end of the day you can go up to the peak and drink adult beverages.  Come to think of it, maybe that's why I didn't get anything.

Eighteen feet is about as high as I care to go.

Over 12,000' last year.  Once you get that high it's hard to determine the exact number . . . the lack of oxygen delivery makes calculating pretty difficult:^)

11,500. But most around 7500-10,000 feet. Its where I live. Hell, my house is at over 5300 feet.

11,000+ San Juans with TBARM Outfitter a few years ago.  Pretty high for a flatlander!

I killed the sheep in my avatar at about 12,500.  That morning I was let out in the dark a few hours before dawn on the pass at 11,990 and hiked up to just below the peak which is 13,572 to be in place when it turned light. SteveO has sheep hunted in the same area.  Jim

Chuck Hoopes

Only 9500 in Colorado-- was tired and had a headache for 3 days--after that I was fine.

11,500 West Elk Wilderness.  It's where I learned the phrase "Elk hunting is the most miserable fun you can have".

I've been at 11,000 plus. It was my first ever elk hunting trip, and first ever visit to CO. None of us were physically prepared for that hunt or the hike in. We didn't know anything about acclimation.
To say the least: We were sucking for air.
But, still an awesome experience!

Bonecracker

Over 12,000 feet, Unit 39 Grizzley Gulch in Colorado! Almost 1 1/2 hours staight-up!!! Now thats the way to start your morning!!

12,300 Windy Mountain in the Rio Grande Nat'l Forrest in CO. Killed an elk in Sheer Gulch near there in the deepest darkest hole possible. Would have rather killed it up the mountain than down in that hole    :knothead:
