Glad to see other successful and excited hunters after the draws! My group drew Type 6 cow elk tags in unit 19. Would be happy to PM with anyone who may have advice or guidance for this unit. This will be my first time out West! Very excited.
I’ve used a lot of vortex products and have had to use the warranty before. For the 1k range the nightforce Shv and Leupold have a few great options if you want turrets. Learning the hard way, buy once cry once on optics is very true.
Always use a preworkout here. Right now just whatever has been economical Muscle tech brand from Sams club right now. Have been looking through some of the Mt Ops branded as well. Maybe will try it out once I’m finished with this tub.
From guys who started out new on the stairs and built up how would you rate floors by level of advancement?

Hard 100-200?
Expert 200+?
I know everyone is different but also looking for say a bench mark to try and train towards. Maybe this could be adding...

In states with points it almost seems like it would be hard to jump in that game if looking for a bull. Points creep in prime units seems huge, but you...
Today 15 mins, 60 floors.
Started out lvl 10 for 1st 5min then last 10 mins at lvl 6. Working to progress to 30mins straight and then will transition to high/low intensity intervals.
Flat lander here. My towns elevation is around 400ft above sea level. So not much experience with hills! Tried stairmaster for 2nd tome today did 5 mins on level 10 and only had 24 floors! Needless to say I was out of breath after.
Looking to do my first hunt out west! Eventually I would love to get a chance at a bull elk but I know how long it can take to draw a tag after researching. At this point I am making the trip to start a tradition and see new country. At this point I really think I will be just as happy hunting...
