Thats awesome!

Wow Fred!!!  I thought I was doing great dropping 25 in 8 months ....  I need to get tougher now that the surgery recoveries are wrapping up.  Long hikes, bike rides and hills in my future.

Way to go Fred! You are kickin ass and takin names. Now if I can get this bow in your hands so you can get to shooting the dam thing and get some arrows tuned for it....

Things are crap on my front.... I not only broke my toe 2 weeks ago, I took a nice little nose dive off my bike a week ago and my right shoulder is F'd up.... I am pretty worried, gonna give it a few more days to see if it starts to improve, then it'll be off to the ortho to see what is going on!?! I am not optimistic.

Congrats to you though....man... imagine how easy the hills are going to be for you this year.

Now I'm walking 5 miles almost every night.  Going to start hill work and scouting in the actual terrain I'm hunting in. 

Down 40 POUNDS in 40 DAYS!!!!!!!!!  The weight loss is slowing but it is still coming off!!!

 

there are two things i tend to respect in a person above almost anything else, when someone quits smoking and when someone decides to drop weight and get in shape. way to go chias.  keep it up.

[Recurve-Elk]

wow!  40 pounds in 40 days, that is very impressive   

As far as me, I have just been shooting my recurve, trying to get my groups as tight as possible. 
As far as conditioning goes, I am already in pretty good shape coming off this last track and field season, but I lift weights three days a week just to stay strong.
As far as planning, I am just looking at maps, maps, and more maps.  Hopefully ill be up scouting here pretty soon.

11 Weeks to go now.  Reading some of your post congrats on dropping them lbs!  I've been shooting my rifle, making sure I can trust my equipment!  And now I need to re sight-in for my rear sight fell off .  I've been doing as much carto as i can and hitting the StairMaster for at least 20 minuets 4x per week.  I just made my first scouting trip today with is much much later than my norm, but I did see some good things...42 elk!!

Happy hunting guys!

I ran the Grey Rock Ultra 50k today in the Autanumn - 2nd Place!  6000 feet of elevation gain/loss on tough trails.  5 hours and 26 minutes, the course topped out at about 6,200 feet. It was rough, very rocky trails.  I am in some pain, but it makes traveling 5-10 miles feel like a snap.  58 days till elk season by my count.

[Recurve-Elk]

  Wow!  Nice job!

[Deer slayer]

Started working out a little harder. Not to bad of shape. Loosing a few pounds. Ordered maps and talking to some people that have more knowledge of the area. Going on a scouting trip this weekend.

way to go machias

[whacker1]

flyguide - very impressive.

Fred - outstanding

carpsniper - also outstanding.

Me - relapsed - hitting a stumbling block and put a few pounds back on.  Although - no beer for two weeks and sticking to the diet should get me back on track.

I'm shooting my bow daily and have been scouting the last two weekends. I have found afew spots with goow traffic looking forward to the up coming season.
