Elk Shape

[Elkrunner]

So who all is starting to think about getting in shape for Elk Season? I myself need to lose about 20 lbs.  Every Memorial Day I start to kick it in gear.

Oh yeah im gettin ready. P90X second round and lots of extra cardio. Ready to back a big one out of the blues this year.

Yup it's that time of year!!  I normally start by jogging 4-5 miles 3-4 times a week, then in August start 10 mile hikes 2-3 times a week.  I end in September with a 25 mile hike from Cove Rd to Manastash Lake to ensure I can go just about anywhere I might need to. 
2 yrs ago my brother and I tracked a herd of 40 cows and calfs with 1 spike in it 12 miles from Buffalo rd into the Roza Creek area before catching up to them and being able to get a 150yd shot.  Another 3 miles out with head, heart and liver and we were beat!!  got the rest a few hours later with some help from my other brother and a good friend.

I drove around the Mossyrock, Morton and Sookum area yesterday. I really hope I get drawn for a disabled road acces permit.

Nice, bigbulls.  I'm on my 2nd round as well.  I finished the lean and now on classic and just finished the 3rd week of classic.  After nearly dying packing out my elk from last year I was not going to go in half A.. this year and started in Jan.  keep up the good work.

My wife bought me a treadmill for Christmas.  I started running 2-5 miles a day on it Christmas night.  Still on the wagon

I am ready.  I run and lift weights year round.

Accually I make a good push around the first of july , My body hurts so much allready that if I ran all year my feet and knees would be shot . I stay active year round with fast pitch and lifestyle. Really when it comes down to it a good steady pace is what it takes . I'm a big guy and I figure slow and steady with a heavy pack works best for me . one of these days i'm gonna just have the boys packem out for me , just not there quite yet.

I'm looking to start this soon. How long does a typical workout last? What equipment do I need?

[igotbigbulls]

about an hour 6 days a week. all ya need is a set of dumbells and a pullup bar and lots of ambition and drive.

Another 3 miles out with head, heart and kidneys

So you left the liver for the kidneys?

Yeah, crap...I'm still waiting.  Mine is 13 and in great shape, but he only weighs 85 lbs.  He can run up and down mountains all day, but putting a heavy pack on him is like tying him to a boulder...
