ARE YOU REALLY READY FOR THE ELK WOODS?
Don't wait until you are in the field to find out that you aren't ready for the hunt... A lot of hunters think they are ready for the hunt but get out there and realize that they are out of shape, can't call in elk, or their gear fails them mid-season... Don't be that guy with a downed elk in the backcountry that can't get the meat out because he wasn't realistic with his hunt plan.
Test your preseason training in a competition style event. Competing against others can add a different element to your training, & help you learn to deal with some of that "Buck Fever".
