Is hunting good excersize for you?

[Ronforca]

I walk my butt off.Where I hunt you are always either going up or down a Mtn.Not very many flat spots in my part of B.C.

 

[captonion]

I do 90% of the dogging so I walk pretty much all day.

The only walking I get to do is from the car to the stand (about 600yds). I hunt on a piece of land that belongs to an association which has tons of rules and one being that you must hunt from a tree stand or blind . It's a shame because I have spooked my share if deer walking to and from the blind while bow hunting.

hunting is good i loose about 10 pounds every moose and deer season

10lbs!? You dropped your rifle in the wood or fogot to bag your gabage? :lol:

ha ha not quite....thats after a week of two of hunting

 

[open-sights]

Been on a few drag/haul/pack outs that you swear you were losing too much weight, some dont have much to spare. I do alot of hiking but don't really loose weight doing it.

My wife doesn't seem to think so. I told her I'd fill my pack up, strap it to her back, throw a rifle over her shoulder and see if she could follow me around in mulie country. Then, just as it's getting dark, make her drag 3 or 4 sandbags a couple miles back to the truck!! :lol:

Depends what I'm hunting I guess. Bow hunting for deer, hide in a tree or shrub and wait, not much exercise. Ducks or geese, hide in a ditch or blind and call and wait, not much exercise. Rabbits, walk fence lines and drainage ditches, kick brushpiles etc, get a bit of excersize there.

Gave me the push to give up smoking, hard to climb the hills west of here when your lungs are turning inside out.

My GF is calling me "skinny" :lol:

I don't know that I buy that :wink:

 

[bone-collector]

exer WHAT :?: , I took up bow hunting thats nuff stress on my fat arse for 1 year :lol:

 

[snowhunter]

There is nothing like walking and hunting, and go places no ATV can reach. Kicked few doe's out of bed today, and my laser range finder told me that the distance was 45 yard whe I caught them napping. Had few deer comming at 33 yards. It's open for "any" black tail buck buck, and I am looking for one for my freezer.

 

[SuperCub]

I spent 3 hrs yesterday crawling around a marsh in chest waders jump/pass shooting ducks. The dog was beat too :wink:

That's got to be better for you than sitting here @ CGN


SC........................

10lbs!? You dropped your rifle in the wood or fogot to bag your gabage?

LOL!!!!! Imagine that.... "Honey! Look I lost 10 lbs while hunting.... <<<pause>>> ####! I left my rifle against the tree while I went for a piss!!!!

Walking for me is the best part.... at one with nature.

 

[GILLY]

I usually lose some weight during season...

Especially htis year, I've been hiking up and down to the Fraser River.

My GF is calling me "skinny" :lol:

I've dropped some pounds this fall as well..........I hurt my back though when me and a buddy tried pulling my moose up onto the truck.

 

[canadian hunter312]

hmmmm....the last 4 winters i have shot over a dozen jackrabbits and probly 20 cottontails each year. all hunting by myself. so yes, i get alot of exercise hunting :wink:

snowshoes cant be worn while going through the bush for cottontails so i kinda suffer out in the fields tracking jacks. dont really think about getting tired though.

 

[TheTooner]

It's certainly good for me. (Good for my mental health, too.)
