I'm 57 and I don't think I will be going on anymore hunts that require 12+ hours in the saddle each day. You don't feel it until late in the day and the next morning when you try and get out of bed. A few hours a day is not bad, but we would leave at 430am and return at 730pm.
We were hunting south of Jackson Hole. Went back in 17 miles from the trail head. I was very glad I connected the opening morning, but my partner took 3 days to fill his tag. Then it was off to eastern Wy. for Mule Deer and Goats.
Your gun choice is fine, I used a Win. Custom Shop 358STA w/250gr. A-Frames.
Take plenty of coolers for meat storage, you can buy dry ice just about everywhere.
