But i can still plod 10km in and out again when required, i dont always like it but i get there in the end.

I just remind myself hunting isnt a race it's and adventure, i only need to be walk fit...

I could do with some cardio though lol

I run my dog 8-15 km a day with me walking, too old to run at 76. You don't have to be super fit to hunt but makes the day far more enjoyable having some level of fitness, well it does to me.

I'm 66 now and pray I'm still coping with the hills when I'm 76. I help myself by being reasonably serious about maintaining some level of fitness but know I tend to be somewhat on and off about it sometimes. It's all outdoors exercise so weather is a big factor ( my excuse ) but the exercise I love most is being out, rifle in hand, looking for game. Can't beat it.
