[CementFinisher]

I work my A** off at work so i could get the job done, but man these lbs i keep putting on every year are getting harder to lug around lol.

[GlennGTR]

Its better to prepare for a big horn sheep or mt goat hunt, then elk hunting will seem easy

[sebek556]

[FarBeyondDriven]

[bucklucky]

Just got back from a short workout, ran about 10 minutes with a 50 pound pack and hiked the rest up the hill and back. Only about a 30 minute workout but felt good.

50 lb pack? Sounds like your preparing to pack some Elk Qtrs.

I did 11 mile hike with 20lb pack felt good time to up the weight 

Dude, you need to be up to 50 pounds 

my hunting pack only weights 19lbs  I'm up to 75lbs on my 3-6mile short hikes

Nice bulle bowsandhose.  I recognize the spot off the road to Godman.  I've hunted in there before.  We got to the top from where your pickup is parked and some *censored*es came driving by on their four wheelers....I thought about putting some spike strips in the trail next year.

Not at all this year, started walking to work after my turkey hunt and my r-knee started to hert in the joint. Got worse and spent 3 days in a row on a boat halibut fishing and I could hardly walk. I'm a lineman 27+ years climbing poles and have hunted my whole life, I was diagnosed w/Osteoarthritis. It was a good flair up, just starting to feel better, going to start again next week walking to work again. The year I drew my moose tag I worked up to a 80lb sack of concrete in my pack at age 48, 51 now and can't belieave how hard it is on the body these days.

[Skyvalhunter]

Don't let the mental aspect of it get the best of you.

[dreamingbig]

Still ready.  I hope to be packing my dad's bull out come September.  Yes, I am his mule.

[bowhuntersd]

Like I tell my wife, I'm round.... Round is a shape.
