Anyone... any time... any where [above +/- 10,000 feet]... Altitude sickness, or "Acute Mountain Sickness [AMS]" can strike and leave you feeling absolutely WRECKED! It is NOT something to be ignored or disregarded... it can end your high-country adventure before it can even begin! If you RESPECT the symptoms, understand the issue, and act accordingly, you can save your hunt, save your "high country adventure" and drive on. Ignore the symptoms, be too proud to recognize the issue, and well... you'll be spending a MINIMUM of three days in bed wondering what the heck you just got steamrolled by! That is...if you got off the mountain to survive it!
