kusko,
I hear you on the "getting in shape" part. I have lost over 30 pounds and use my treadmill for 3 miles or so on the steapest incline so I will not have to worry about gettin winded while humping up and down the mountains. I let my self get out of shape last year and I sure did feel it when it was time to hunt moose. I got lucky and it only took me a couple of days to get used to the hiking and getting my wind, then i go and shoot a moose right in front of camp, from where I stood looking over the bull I could see the cook tent. I do not mind humping moose out of the back country but that sure was nice driving the wheeler right up to it.
Last fall my kids hunted with me for a couple of days and they had a great time seeing moose and when they saw a bull they kept shouting "Shoot it, Shoot it". I got such a kick out of having to explain to them what size we were looking for and them just looking at me like I was smoking something, it has horns, what more did I want. But they are only 5(boy) and 3(girl). I like your signature about "taking your kids hunting so you won't have to hunt for your kids", this is so true.
AlaskaBoy.
