Got back late Friday from 12 days in MT (3 were 1/2 days due to weather) DIY and 4 days in SD guided chasing elk and deer. Gear and fitness were pretty good. Not counting the 1/2 days I think I averaged about 8 miles a day in MT looking for elk around Trout Creek. Only heard 2 bugles and saw 2 cows but no shots. Didn't track my miles in SD but did a lot of still hunting and spot n stalk. Saw several buck in the 150-170+ size but no shots. 3 wks may be a bit much.

I appreciate the workout/exercise help along the way here men, was able to take Wife to Tanzania for a three week wedding anniversary safari, shot hippo, cape buffalo, leopard, zebra, waterbuck, warthog and hartebeest, averaged 11 miles per day according to some app? on Wifes cell, the 14 pound 577 double and shell belt were carried with no muscle weakness in my legs, arms, shoulders, did need to stop a couple times to catch breathe, guessing that's a cardio issue, plus, temps were HOT and humid.

River sand, both wet and dry as well as mountains provided serious workouts, the Mbaragabdu Game Reserve borders the Selous Game Reserve to the South, what an unbelievable adventure. smile

Thanks again Gentleman.
