[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 967462, member: 56732"] Congratulations!!!!! Keep it up. I just turned 54 and 268 lbs. At 5'8" tall I'm kinda round but I always have been kinda husky. . My career as a timber faller has kept me pretty tough and strong even tho I'm built like Santa Claus :D I can still spend 7 hours a day in the spurs up trees doing arborist work. But. Because of back and hip injuries throughout my career I am not a good walker. I don't seriously trophy hunt but sometimes there can be a lot of work in meat and fur hunting. Especially on snowshoes in deep snow. IMO, the single best way to get in shape for hunting is to put your hunting frame pack on your back with 80 lbs in it. Carry your rifle in your hands and walk thru the timber up a mountain. When I was packing for Jim Harrower in Unit 19 B I got in the best walking shape of my life. [/QUOTE]
