Here's a pic of that monster shed antler I found, in my dreams this guy is still walking around out there somewhere..



It was a couple of years old. Not sure how much these shrink sitting out but it was still massive. Seven points and that huge split G4. The fronts were 17" each. The smaller side of that split G4 was 20". I plugged the measurements into the B&C scoring sheet. Assuming it was symmetrical (which it obviously never would be) and added an average spread, this would have gone over 420"

Great shed, that's an awesome animal.

What I'm hearing is a $1500 hunt, OTC tag, guaranteed 400" bull before your coffee is cold on 1st am? Ha ha, jk

I've hunted a big famous ranch in Trinidad. Great elk in area for sure!

Yup, that's pretty much what I was trying to say. You did it in less words

Colorado big game brochure is out. I looked at the online version and there are more "corrections" to the printed version than I have ever seen in a single year. Check it out online and make sure they do not apply to you.

Time to start gettin back into mountain shape.

The Mountain Tough Heavy Pack workout is what I focused on last year and it put me in the best shape I've ever been in before going into the mountains.

1/4 mile timed run (rest for same time)
Do it again

1/2 mile timed run (rest for same time)
Do it again

1/4 mile timed run (rest for same time)
Do it again

200 yards of lunges with loaded pack (20/40/60/?)

Move directly to stairs/bleachers with pack for 10 minutes. Up and down at modest pace.

30 seconds of planking with pack, 30 sec rest x 3

It may have changed. You can download it for free from the site, and of course... there are "The 22's".

I'm baby stepping my way back to elk shape. 3rd day tryin to get my sht together.

I chiseled out a couple hundred of ponds of ice last week, and have been shoving most days. This morning I cleared 30+ inches of packed snow from the nighbors drive, and I've shoveled mine twice today, and there is a couple inches already on it again.

It's hard to get out and run right now, but that's gotta count for something!

On the plus side- as much as a PIA as all this snow is- it should make for a beautiful hunting season in the mountians!

I scouted a few new spots on local public and moved a few cameras, so I guess I got a little bit more payoff than just one bass. I've written off the one I hid real good. I think it's probably under water now anyway.

I hired epic outdoors to do all my state applications for me this year. Man have they saved me a lot of time I didn't have. Money well spent.

How many days a week are you doing this workout?

My group has made a tire to drag this year and see how that goes.

Ha. I'm baby steppin man! I haven't even started doing this entire workout yet, just tiny bits and pieces of it.

I've been hiking with weight quite a bit for a while now and doing a decent amount of kayaking, but really need to ramp up the high intensity cardio.

I did this workout or some variation of it (sometimes half, sometimes just 25% when short on time) 4-5 days per week last year for about 90 days before my trip.

Those weighted lunges had me hurting for 5 days after the first session. I eventually cut my time on those in half with virtually no soreness the next day.

It's too dang cold to be running around outside plus it's ski season. I've been building up in the workout in the link below and trying to do some stair master stuff....based on what hurts, it's probably good for hiking around too
