Definately.I usually lose 15-20 lbs.I start at daylight,and don't stop until I get a bird or around 3pm when I finally give out.I drink water,and may eat a pack of crackers,but generally do not stop to eat.I do alot of walking,and biking.

Yes I did last season but it was in part because it was intentional....good hiking, up before breakfast etc....very enjoyable exercise.

I agree with Rob. With the winter weather finally gone, the urge to walk the hill tops in search of gobblers is at a all time high during the spring turkey season. I think we all loose some weight and sleep during this time of the year!!
