Saying that being fitter does enable you to enjoy the hunt more. This is especially true if you are hunting with someone else, when it's not completely up to yourself to set the pace.

The following worked well for me:

Lactic tolerance session
4x200m
3x400m
8x100m

Special endurance session
2x600m
3x1km

Base endurance
5km full speed

Long slow recovery run
1 hour jog at conversation pace

Do the above every week and that should get you fitter than most hunters.

I'm pleased to see a fit young man out n about, might get you to carry my pack next time.
