[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 1078408, member: 1"] [b]Re: Physical Training For Mountain Hunts[/b] I just got back from the mountains of western Wyoming. Two days on horse and foot with Robb Wiley of Non-Typical Outfitters scouting for our [U][B][URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f125/elk-2014-lrh-group-hunt-119395/"]October, 2014 LRH GROUP ELK HUNT.[/URL][/B][/U] The first morning we saw 25 bulls. 22 of the 25 were 5's and 6's, the rest were 3 or 4 point. Incredible. Second morning was drizzling and we [U]ONLY[/U] saw about 12 in a different area. [B][I][SIZE="3"]But the really, really good news was about my KNEES![/SIZE][/I][/B] On horse and foot I traveled 17 miles the first day and 10 miles the 2nd day. Of the 27 mile total, about 6 miles was on foot. The 27 mile total is probably double of what I've been doing over any two days in recent years. And more significantly this larger total was very bearable. I felt my knees could have easily handled another two days at that pace. Having this much validation of the effectiveness of my training program is so satisfying -- and motivating. [/QUOTE]
