Doing 100 pushups or more is no easy task, and I would venture to say that there isn't a whole lot of guys who can do it. I would expect a more reasonable number for people who workout to be in the 70-85 range.
I am really interested in getting an Icon pack, I think I'm leaning towards the 5200 pack with belt pockets added. I wish I could try one on first and see how it feels. I was happy to read a post of someone who's tried them out and had good results with normal pack use. I too find the bluff test...
Awesome looking buck! Now when you field judged him before the shot, were his cutters above his ears a good distance or was it closer to ear length? Like if I see a buck and he looks big bu I'm not sure, and then he raises his ears and they are even with the cutters, would be a smaller buck?
If I were to hunt the Ochoco tag I would focus on the wilderness area near the private lands.
That is what I'm going to do for OR, I'm hiking back into the wilderness I had my close calls the first time I drew that tag! Hope the elk are still in the general area as back then and then I can...
I know! That was another reason I was excited for Little Naches unit...closed to cow/spike archery! Should be a lot less people and if I get in the wilderness or along side it in a couple spots I'm hoping to be able to get a bull to answer back and locate him. I wouldn't mind checking out the...
Try running with some people who know what its like. I was the same way when I started. Lungs were in bad shape, my knee would kill me after just a couple minutes. I just started slow and kept pushing it a little more each week. Run a few more minutes each week and then walk. Eventually I was...
Great pics and good info in here. I'm going to be going for my first ever antelope hunt and hearing that anything over 70" is a good buck for most people sounds about like me. I would love a monster but I will be happy as can be just to get one! Excited to try and spot and stalk, ambush, or...
I sure hope so, I've been training nostop, no off season, so I should be ready physically and mentally. I just need to make the most of my limited time to scout and locate some good bulls to target and try to pattern a little so I can get on them quick and not waste days of hunting trying to...
Jon Boy I've actually been torn thinking about that and I may just do it anyway. I was thinking I wanted to avoid a long packout of meat if I could help it but I think I would regret it more to not check out the wilderness areas and bivy by myself for a few days at least. I hope my other spot...
I drew the Ochoco bull tag and I also drew my first ever antelope tag for Maury unit, archery for both. I just started college last week and I will miss the first week of OR mule deer and elk with finals, then I will miss the second week for antelope tag. Then back to WA for my bull tag and then...
Archery season and I'm going to miss the first week of the season. I will down in OR trying to fill my first ever antelope tag and I also drew a bull tag and mulie tag in the unit next to the antelope tag. I will be busy and then hurry up here for the second week of season.
