RE: Diet... Does it effect your bow hunting?
I plan my food for my hunting trips. I eat foods that supply lots of energy. And take a multi vitamin. I like sports drinks and stay away from soda. I am a thin guy in good shape. I tried my best to pack in the food this last season but still lost about 8 pounds during this last season.

RE: Diet... Does it effect your bow hunting?
About a year and two months ago i weighed in at a slobby 228lbs i have been in the 230's before, i was getting asthma like symptons and felt it was time to do something about it. I vowed off sweets and soda pop, Ok a few times a year ill treat myself to a sweet now its around five small meals a day and alot of water, combined with some exercise in the gym, im now at 194lbs and feel great. I do notice a huge difference while hunting, i can now pack in my climber, climb the tree and not sweat much at all 
before i would be ringing wet [
]yes it does make a difference 
Dubbya, i keep hearing horror stories of your eating adventures in Garden prarie, wish i had stayed one more day to witness this [8D]OH, the one meal i absolutly can not do with out is breakfast, if i miss that im shot.

Diet / Nutrition is huge, I use to play sports etc....and you may be talented, workout etc....but nutrition/diet will help you get to that next level. I think diet/exercise are all related, simple steps will help get you there, ie no pop....giving that up, wil save you some calories etc...I'm currently a fast food addict in some respects, though once my project im working on ends, I plan to refocus, one thing to remember is its much easier to maintain a weight/in shape than it is to get IN SHAPE.

Germ, it was a PREMIUM salad... according to the sign anyway.
Dan, let me describe it to you this way. The sign reads, "Premium Salads" so being the salad guy that I am... I decided to give it a whirl. Well, if you can imagine four (4) pieces of lettuce that appeared that they were spray painted green, then placed in the microwave for about 10 minutes accompanied by a very very soft tomato. All of which was covered with a plasticized Ranch dressing... it was horrid, but of course I'll have another this summer for the sake of tradition.

Poor Diet and lack of sleep can and hasaffected mine. It never did when I was young, or before Ibroke my back... today I have to eat right and get good sleep to be on the top of my game.
