The high Uintas is not the place for someone wishing to pop off a quick day trip for ptarmigan. To be successful you need to be prepared. Training at elevation, going vertical, and experience tackling alpine conditions is a must. Scouting areas and planning your hunt with meticulous detail is also required. If you're not from the area and don't know where you're going, it would be much safer for you to get in touch with a reputable guide service. Now if ruffs and blues are your thing, there will be much more opportunity for day hunts at friendlier elevations.
