I will be hunting 1st Elk in the North Park area in Oct. Coming from the flat lands, I am trying to get in shape for the 10k ft elevations, as well as getting the new 300WSM tuned in. Well, I managed to strain some tendons in my lower back doing a leg press last Wed, and have been on the living room floor since!! Feeling a little better today, so should be back tojogging/walking on the local ski hill next week...

I really get the itch in early sept when we start getting some cool weather in MN.
