Colorado otc archery for a solo beginner.
I think the car camping is a great idea for the first time. That would be way better than committing to some region that looks good on a map. I also think getting something like a Spot would be a good idea in case things go wrong. -
DIY 2017 CO Elk Bow Hunt
Everyone has been saying how hot it is which is true, but that doesn't mean you might not be looking at snow or at least temps in the low 30s at night. Last year for opener we had light snow opening morning and rain all day. Great part about early season is elk are particularly stupid for the... -
First Time Elk Hunting Colorado Cow Elk Tips
I've only hunted 1st rifle once and the hard part I found with it is you have such a short stretch of time, it is hard to keep the energy up. I would plan on an off/easy day in the middle to recharge. -

Hunting/Hiking Calories Burned
My friend wore a heart monitor all day for a couple days when were hunting and adding in the 30# pack, we were cranking 4000 calorie days. From what I understand, a marathon is around 2600 calories. There some sites that focus on foods that are best calories per oz and obviously the focus on... -
Workouts?
For me, the key to getting in shape is doing something I love. I ride my bike, trail run, hike, play hockey and ski. That stuff is fun. I try to get 10 hours of exercise a week with about two short sessions intense, but I'm kind of a fitness nut. I'll attempt to get at least two short...
