Additional Details

Elk hunting can be one of the toughest hunts a hunter will experience because of the terrain elk live in. It is one of the most physically demanding hunting sports most hunters will ever endure. Most Eastern deer hunters who head West to elk hunt practice bugling and mewing on a cow call but often forget about one of the most important aspects of getting ready for an elk hunt: GETTING IN SHAPE!!! A hunter planning to hunt out West for elk should purchase a quality backpack and start hiking with it on his back.

When preparing for an elk hunt, having at least 30 pounds in a pack is a good idea. Elk hunters should pack up the gear they plan to take into their elk hunting backpacks and hike with it on their backs a few times a week. This prepares their back muscles and leg muscles for the elk hunt.

When preparing physically, it is important to realize that elk live in the high country where the air is often thin. It can be very difficult to prepare Eastern lungs for Western air, but there are a few things elk hunters can do. When training, elk hunters need to breathe as much as possible from their noses and keep their mouths closed. This makes lungs work harder and helps prepare them for the hard breathing they will encounter out west. They can also run very fast upside hills for short distances or ride a bike uphill as fast as they can for short distances to strengthen their lungs. You would hate to get into a position where you need to get up a hill to take a shot at a once-in-a-lifetime Bull Elk, and you cannot do it when it counts.
