Height and weight

[Teaman1]

Just curious, but for those of you that have found it, what is you’re ideal body weight for hunting season and how tall are you?

 

[manitou1]

6'3" 200 lbs, although I am at 210 right now.

 

[HuntInWild88]

5"8. 160lbs.

 

[Mike Islander]

155 - 165
5' 8"

At 15 - 45 years old 175 was great. Now 58. Knees are beat up. No need for all the muscle mass to hike or carry. Plenty strong enough for the task at a leaner weight.

6’0 200lbs, ran 2018 season at 190lbs and really struggled with recovery after hitting it hard the first few days, this past season has been a lot better with similar level of fitness.

 

[deerhunt1988]

5'7 170lbs. but i've been hitting the weights religiously for over a decade. Currently sitting around 180lbs.

I’m 5’8 and thinking 190 is a happy place for me. You guys got me second guessing that though haha

I'll usually start off the season somewhere around 215-220, I'm 6'6". But my knees don't necessarily like that weight. By the end of the season I'm closer to 200 and feel more like a lean mean fighting machine, and the knees are "usually" happier. But if I go into the season at 200, then I'm coming out way too light.

I'm 5'9" and my "hunting weight" tends to be at 180-185. Body comp-wise, I'm at 34" waist and 46" chest, so I'm not carrying too much around the middle, but that's a daily battle to keep off.

I’m 6’6” feel best around 195 to 200

 

[JJB]

6'1" and 200lbs. Ideally I'd like to drop 5-10lbs, need to do a little more cardio at the gym

6-3 I feel the best between 190-195. Better cardio at sub 190 but the strength takes a hit.

5'11" and 145 lbs soaking wet! If I can get to 150 lbs by hunting season I'll be that much better shape!

5”11.5: 205-215, depending on the time of year. Usually come out out of hunting season at 200#.

Sometimes I will dip as low as 195# during Mtn bike season, but the aches and pains seem to set in once I drop below 200#. Besides, a full grown man should weigh 200#

I agree on the 200 pound part haha. I was a very skinny kid before I found free weights in high school/college, I just don’t have or need as much mass anymore so I’m shooting for 190

 

[Coach Chris]

Just shy of 6'2". Best weight between 195 and 200#

I tore my meniscus in early January and haven’t been able to train much. Also, I normally snowboard 4 days a week this time of year and that has been heavily scaled back to cruising with a knee brace once or twice a week. As a result of that, I’ve definitely atrophied away noticeably. Pants are getting loose, legs smaller. Got on the scale today and I was 199#. The horror! I usually weigh closer to 215# this time of year. Had to get a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake for dinner.

5' 8" 180-185 pounds. 33" waist, 48" chest, I have always been a stalky kind of guy big legs, big chest. I guess lifting weights 5 times a week doesn't help. I tend to ramp up the cardio over summer and try to cut down to that 180 mark, the rest of the year im probably more like 190.

 

[Trr15]

I'm 6' and have been consistently between 192-195lbs for the past 4 years. My training regimen is strength training focused and involves minimal cardio until about 6 weeks prior to hunting season. I usually lose between 8-10 lbs during hunting season.
