Training Journal - again, this is a FREE resource for anyone wanting to dig deeper for training ideas or sneak a peak at what I am doing to stay ready for elk season 365 days a year.
Just over 40 days until we strap on our boots and head out to grocery shop for the rest of the year in the elk mountains. This time of year is busy with distractions, so carving out some time each day to break a sweat will not be convenient... do it anyway. Every unwanted pound you can shed will only aid you in your endeavor. Here's a few ideas to incorporate in the weeks leading up to archery elk season:
- Shoot your bow everyday with your bino harness and backpack on
- Break a sweat every day regardless if its only 15 minutes
- Prepare some backcountry food items ahead of time to expand your food options
- Broadhead tune - don't be the guy taking his bow into the archery shop the last week of August, go ahead and verify your field point and broadhead flight now
- Last minute e-scouting - learn the ins and outs of google earth and KLM files. Add layers to google earth and screen record a few aerial fly overs that you can save to your phone before you head to the field
Here's a workout for you to try in your garage. We call it Elk Parking - we park our trucks outside because our garage gym takes up all available room, here's the workout to try in your garage.
Monday 7/8/19 - Scouting Day:
Not sure miles or elevation, but I used the eBike to check 2 cameras, put out a mock scrape and then went to my other spot. I road in and pulled my ground blind out, put up a tree-stand and ladders, set two cameras for deer, and added some minerals.
