Yep. Between me and my girlfriend we eat about 6 deer a year, including what I give away. Have a 1/4 acre garden, apple trees, peach trees, butcher hogs with the neighbor. Make most of our own food. Can't remember last time I bought meat at a grocery store. It definitely helps.

all i can see when i read this was the flag flying in the wind GOD BLESS AMERICA

If I could shoot enough deer...I'd eat backstraps on the grill 3-4 nights a week for the whole year! The problem is procuring enough venison every year :P

Whatever you do it’s gonna be a lifestyle change and it’s gonna suck. It won’t be easy. you’ll have to embrace the suck.

The above along with a Paleo diet. The Paleo diet works well with a hunter/gatherer lifestyle. Also weekly practice setting up stands, sticks or saddles. You'll be working all of the muscles you will actually be using while hunting.



I think im going to try all of this thnks great ideas

Being a public land mobile hunter forces me to stay in shape. I also have a bad back and bad knees. I want to hunt into my twilight years. I lift and mix in any cardio I can. I am 6'2 and like to hit the woods at about 225. I am also 43. It doesn't get easier every year. My main goal this off season is to keep my legs in shape. My job kills them. I've been hitting the exercise bike lately. It is low impact n doesn't kill my knees.

I'm 34 and while not that old a desk job and family life has put a few pounds around the mid section. A gym is out of the question as there is no time for it in my schedule with everything going on with the family and work. After years of arguing with my wife about diet I finally started to cut things out. No sugary junk. No more fast food. Much lower carb intake. Plenty of fresh veggies, fruits, and nuts. I haven't lost any weight, but I stopped putting it on. I also try to tie extracurricular to activities I enjoy - scouting, ice fishing, etc.

I also have a cousin who started doing the ketogenic diet and lost 20 lbs. Sounds like it was a pretty easy diet to get into. Might be worth looking into.

Im on a50 carb a day atkins. It was either keto or atkins.
I just started today. Lol. I just dont have time to exercise
I try to get 10,000 steps in scouting or even walking the bike path where i live. Now you say low carb and you eat fruit. I thought fruit is loaded with carbs? Is this true. I love cantaloupe and honey do i can eat it all day lol. But read and told it is loaded with carbs along with bannanas and any berrys. I do eat salads with chicken but i can not eat them dry i need something. Im gonna to put a program together tonight by scouting everyday somewhere setting up trees for observation spots for next year. And just keep at it. But once greenover comes then summer. Whats the next step? Just walk fields or edges
If im gung ho about somthing im all in and wanna put my exercise routines into my deer scouting stand setting and just overall hunting life but wat to do in summer? Or late spring. ?
