Why Hunting Fit
If you ask most guides, they will tell you that the most common reason hunters fail to fill their tag is not due to a rifle malfunction or the wrong camo pattern… The most common reason is that they are out of shape.
Hunting is hard work. Not only are you hiking through hills and mountains, you are carrying a rifle or bow (which starts to feel like a sledgehammer after a few hours), a pack filled with gear, binoculars against your chest, and layers of clothing for fluctuating temperatures and weather. All of this adds up to a load on your back and exhaustion at the top of the mountain.
Hunting is not easy… It is very hard work.
But as we all know, it is well worth the work. Hunting Fit is all about preparation. The more prepared you are, the better chance you have of filling your tag. Hunting Fit means hunting farther, hunting longer, and hunting smarter. When you commit to hunting fit, you can focus on the hunt instead of constantly stopping to catch your breath.
You may only have one shot… Don’t blow it because you were too busy sucking wind.
