Getting Ready

[JohnFitzgerald]

Elk season is just around the corner. Time to start hitting it hard? Let\'s see your preparation photos!

What are you doing during elk season John? Painting, sanding or applying chemicals somewhere? I hope that is not your preparation to go to the outhouse. :crazy:

Honestly, I\'m still in the goal-setting phase of preparation.

I need to set goals for exercise and shooting and scouting.

RRT Exercise ... I\'m putting at least 4 days per week into P90x3. I need to lose some weight, but for now I am at a plateau, and I\'m ok with that -- for now. I will drop at least 10 pounds prior to September. I may end up doing some more endurance horse racing/riding this summer and with that, I should really aim for 15-20 pounds. That\'s a pretty high bar to jump.

RRT Shooting ... I need to be better at shooting ... too windy and cold for now.

As for Scouting ... trips will be planned for accessing the area after snow lets up.

I use one of these on the way to work. I have a long drive (50) minutes so I start about 60 days before my hunt doing the breathing exercise about 10 minutes each day. It helps to exercise your diaphragm muscles.
