Getting in shape for hunting season

[John Y Cannuck]

Ok, my exercise poll indicates that a large number of you "walk your butt off" (either that or you lie your ass off) :lol: .
What are you doing to get yourself in shape?
Me I took a party time job as a licenced farm equipment mechanic, and have taken my bike out to get my wind working again. I rode around the lake at the cottage this weekend :shock: The hills of Haliburton county have not shrunk. In fact, my lungs and legs tell me they have grown.

I usually end up doing lots o wood...cutting..splitting...piling...throwing....X3 or X4 times. Its gotta be done,,,so hard work gets me prepared for humpin those hills.

I shot 30 rounds of 300wm yesterday...

and now I have a bigger right shoulder for the coming moose hunt :lol: :mrgreen:

 

[BIGREDD]

Ran around the bush all weekend working on stands and hunting... dragged a deer out last night... no time for exercise... too busy hunting :idea:

I prefer walking/biking/running with the dog with and without a pack works.

 

[Boonie Boy]

Tipping a six pack... :shock:

Actually, I've started cutting back on the food and trying to lose a few pounds - it's alot easier to hoof it through the bush when you're not carrying a big belly...

I lay off pumping iron and play squash 3X a week instead

 

[TMaC]

I go hunting to get into shape :lol: Most of my hunting is on foot and found that 3 weeks of scouting got me in decent shape for bow hunting and 2 weeks of that got me in shape for hunting. Hockey just started back up so walking won't be a problem for the rest of the season.

I'm a young gaffer though, as I get older I may actually have to do something in the summer to prepare.

I get up & go to the fridge now instead of asking my wife to grab me a drink. :shock: :lol: :lol: :wink: DAN>>>

 

[Workin Man]

I am a renovation contractor. After slugging cement/ lumber/drywall/plywood/shingles/ whatever all day I really don't feel much like exercising when I get home. I don't really need to either.

 

[walksalot]

I bust my ass riding a bike up a steep hill to a subdivision. It is a wild ride down though.
I hate being out of shape. You never know when you have to pack out an animal.

 

[erraticimpact]

or your bud from all that beer drinking :lol:

 

[sjemac]

The hunting season get me into shape. By the end of the November and three months of chasing waterfowl and big game, I've dropped about 20 pounds. I then spend the next 9 months eating through the freezer and putting it all back on :lol: .

 

[Ruttinbuck]

I start in July hiking a 5km circuit twice a day.By early August I am doing the same circuit with a 60lb pack on.By late August I am using a 2km steep hill climb with a 30lb pack and 5km with the 60lb pack.I have never got to the 60lb weight on the hill climb as the season always starts before I am in good enough shape.RB

I went hunting this weekend and had to walk in tall grass with rubber boots that were to big for my. Now I am almost out of a tube of A535 because my legs are so sore. So I think I will go on more hikes before the season starts. But untill then anyone know a good massuse? :wink:
