[QUOTE="Elkmen, post: 566278, member: 25688"] at 66 staying in shape is just as important as getting in shape. As I have already hunted in Wyoming and Oregon I am doing well right now but have one more elk hunt to go. This time of the year I concentrate on hills, with a 20 lb pack and 5 or more times a week. My hill is 1000 feet high and a mile from bottom to top. I also do a little weight work for the upper body but hills are what works for me. I quit running many years ago and now only do hiking. Outdoor hiking is the best because it also conditions the knees, ankles, and side muscles. Bad weather is on a tread mill at 12% with the same pack. As onother said elevation is a killer and takes a couple of days. Lots of hiking for elk but many also hike to much and don't sit and glass and watch enough !! [/QUOTE]
