In the armed forces, battle rhythm is a well thought out and planned build up to being mentally and physically prepared to do what needs to be done, at the unexpected moment it must be done (paraphrasing). Things such as mental and physical readiness, temperature and elevation acclimation, etc...must be adjusted to/moved through for a few days to several before the individual/team is ready to react/attack accordingly when the opposition reveals itself. It's somewhat similar in elk hunting. Honestly, we don't do this stuff through out the year on a daily basis (sure we practice calling, shooting, going over tactics in our heads, and work on physical conditioning, etc. but its not the real deal when the moment of truth arrives) so I'm asking....how long does it take you as an elk hunter to be in your peak battle rhythm once your 5, 7, 10 day elk hunt starts? Just throwing it out for discussion....
