Well, what I'm doing must be working. On opening day here in Washington I killed a fair sized 3x3 buck shortly before dusk. Was hunting solo. Quartered him up. Finished by headlamp. Managed to load him into my backpack, and hiked an hour back to my Jeep.
Rifle in my left hand. The buck's head in my right hand. A very warm and heavy backpack on my back.
At 61, I was more pleased with being able to carry the buck back to my Jeep, than I was about hitting him. Of course I was going to hit him!
At the gym I typically do 30 min of lifting, a total body workout. Then 30 - 60 minutes of cardio. If I don't go to the gym, I'm often on the bicycle, or hiking. It all seems to help.
