That being said, you cannot over prepare. I have yet to meet someone out there that didnt say..."I wish I didnt work out as hard in the summer in prep for this hunt"
Yea this being our first time is more trial and error than anything. But I'm sure we'll enjoy it (even if we are wore out). But we'll be better prepared next time since we'll know what to expect.
