This hunting season we’d like to collect some front line data on the fitness demands of backcountry hunting. What we’re interested in is data related to the actual hunting season – not the pre season scouting.

Specifically, during the hunting season ….

– Actual hunting days

– Total mileage covered over the season

– Highest mileage covered in a single hunting day

– Total vertical gain and loss over the season

– Highest vertical gain and loss in a single hunting day

– Hunting pack weight

– Pack out weight and distance (getting the downed game to the trailhead)

This can include hunting for multiple species, and both bow and rifle. For example, I plan to bow hunt deer and elk, but if I don’t harvest with a bow, will also hunt during rifle season.

Questions?

Pls email any data you can to [email protected]

– Thanks!

Rob Shaul
