What did you just spend four hours doing???

I just spent the last four hours hiking and starting to get in shape for this years hunts. And not just some nice easy going hike but truly preparing for the hunts, I spent time following animals tracks glassing and stayin as far from designated trails as possible. It was fun and great to get out! I didnt get lucky and run across any sheds like i was secretly hoping for but i almost completed my goal for next month already! It may be too soon to complete that goal though since i spent a good amount of time, once i got near my turn around point, wading through knee to waist deep snow! Some highlights from the day include going from followoing some deer tracks to following a bob cat/large domestic cat (which is possible cuz there are some houses nestled up against the base of the hills) track that was also following my deer. I happened to stumble into a small bowl which held alot of good sized turkey tracks and im now thinking ill take a turkey call up one day and see if i cant have some fun! Oh and probably the best part was watching the sunset and realizing i was half way up the mountain still and finding out the batteries in my flashlight were dead! Oh and p.s. it is alot colder than i had planned on at higher elevations with the wind blowing and the sun setting! :))
