    When to stop working out before a hunt?

    I said I would post how things went. My tapering a week before was just fine. Legs withstood brutal Colorado terrain, however our initial hike in was hell. My lungs were on fire from the altitude change. Next time I will plan on getting there a day or two earlier to acclimate. Full moon didn't...

    When to stop working out before a hunt?

    Great question/topic.....listening to your body I think is key. If you're feeling sore just do something light walk a mile get the blood flowing. I would personally back off the weight lifting a week prior. I tapered off this last week focusing more on stretching and drinking more water. Did...

    Hydration

    Interesting info....as an avid weight cutter (wrestling) my whole life I found pedialyte packets worked effectively. I have switched over to Skratch recently. It may not be the best but I like offsetting drinking some down and then adding more water on top. Predominantly drink water at home but...

    Ice Bath....anyone do it often and does it really help?

    my brother in law is a high profile MMA fighter, he swears by the cold plunge....diet definitely plays a role like others have said. Unless it gets real bad I'm not getting in one lol. I will stick with ice packs when needed.

    Anyone else that can’t road run?

    Think running in general over time depending on how often you do it can take its toll on your knees/joints. Treadmill running for me is just boring, I need to be going places. I run paved roads in the summer but definitely watch my top knot with all the morons driving out there. Just like...

    To anyone reading the archery forum

    I bring mine to a small local shop, good to support a local business and spend more of my time on other things. Great for those that can tune and repair their own.

    Skre

    I have the hardscrabble pants, sizing was awkward so I just use them as a backup to my KUIU pants. I bought a base layer T from them and just didn't like the material. That being said, their gear seems of quality but not much difference in price from KUIU/First Lite.

    Elk season fitness-altitude issues for flatlanders

    I was in the anti running camp until a couple months ago....I still have somewhat of a gut on me but I ran 5 miles (farthest distance in 10 years lol) the other day at about a 9 minute pace and felt good. Think I am getting closer to where I want to be. I've mentioned this in another post...

    Cell trail cam recommendations

    I just bought two Exodus rival cell cams.....they are performing very well. I will say they are pricey but you get what you pay for. They have a 5 year warranty if you register them online. Smaller company too.

    Great insight (s).....i'm not very tech savvy, I'm sure after watching some youtube videos I'll be fine. Battery life is everything.

    GPS watch recommendation?

    Thanks for the responses! I did see that fenix 6 solar is on sale for $399....big difference between the instinct and the fenix 6? I'm not penny pinching and seems the $399 is a damn good deal but like most I can get easily carried away buying hunting gear lol.
