About Me

I am a 50 year old retired Marine who is going on an Elk hunt in October 2019. This blog is to document my journey preparing to hunt out west. I will also share some knowledge on what I have learned from past hunts. I have been on multiple Elk hunts before though I have never harvested one (mediocre hunter!). Each hunt I have gone out west better prepared. Over the next year I plan to be the best prepared I can be. I plan on sharing this journey so I can maybe help someone else prepare.

Quick update.  156 days until my Elk hunt.  Training has been going well.  Weight loss is not where I want it but it is still 30 pds down since New Years.  I added a weighted pack to my routine on the StairMaster, treadmill, and doing step up and step downs.  I also have started rifle drills where I dry fire at targets from various positions.  I will have an entire post about my dry fire routine.
