[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1332011, member: 33822"] I agree with this up to a point. I personally do cardio like crazy, but have learned the hard way that strength is also extremely important. If you're hunting with a guide and/or horses and just need to be able to cover a lot of distance, then cardio is really all you need. As soon as you start carrying a lot of weight, cardio alone won't cut it. Load a half an elk or an entire deer in your pack and have to carry it 6 miles uphill to your truck and you better have some strength training under your belt. And even if all you're doing is hiking around and not packing weight, the strength training in addition to the cardio is going to make you a more durable hunter. Slip on some wet snow, twist around funny stepping over a deadfall... so many scenarios will test your body, and if you've done strength training you will be all around better for it and be less likely to get injured. Those sets of 10 reps of squats will make a big difference. [/QUOTE]
