Good going! Keep it up. Do some lifts on the balls of your feet. The first couple of hills you climb, and side step, your calves will feel like concrete, and be screaming at you. But you will adjust to it, as well as the altitude. Oh, and as for getting the heart rate up........ First sighting, and or first Bugle, not to worry, your heart rate WILL BE UP! ;D ;D ;D
Good luck with the training, and the hunt.

Try and be as specific as you can with your training. If you're going to be hunting while carrying a 20# pack, train that way. If the terrain is going to be hilly... walk some hills. You get the idea.
