I am planning a hunt for next year. Most likely going to Idaho to Elk hunt, but there is a possibility of a trip to Alaska. I have been lifting weights and carefully monitoring my diet. By the way, If any of you haven't tried that my fitness pal free ap it is nice, has a huge data base of foods and exercise and does an excellent job of tracking what your taking in. Anyway I have implemented a new cardio plan. The rifle range I use here in KY is very relaxed, no upity rules or range masters, just be safe and act like you got some sense. Any way directly off the front of the firing line is a large hill. So instead of trying top go and force myself to run miles on the road or treadmill. I set up my rifle and mat and a swinging target at 400yd then I run sprints up and down the hill intermixed with taking shots at the gong when I get back to the top of the hill. Hoping to build up to running all the way out to the 400yd and back coupled with shooting. This servers double duty as cardio training and learning to shoot under pressure. If there are any of you who have been out and hunted in this kind of terrain I would like to hear how your conditioning affected your hunt.
