to sniff around. Then bear started to walk right towards me! Next thing I know, bear was sitting directly underneath me! At this point I was thinking about all bear hunting magazines and books I read and remembered that it is not unusual for bears to clime into tree stands with hunters. I started to get nervous. I did not know if bear knew I was their or not. I nervously watched bear sitting and sniffing right underneath me for about 5 minuets, then out of no were it ran off. I knew what that meant, a bigger bear was on way. Sure enough about 2 minuets latter, biggest bear I have EVER seen came out of same direction bear started to eat bait, I shouldered my Ruger 300 Win Mag and BLAM! The bear went right down. Shortly after I shot him, he let out a load roar that made hair on back of my neck stand up! The bear weighed in at 600 lbs, largest taken in that zone in 5 years!

Trail shoes offer more support and traction but much less cushioning. Trail shoes vary from running shoes with a more aggressive tread all way up to hiking shoes which may not applicable for running. Make sure you consult with a salesperson to get right shoe for your type of training. I do not recommend doing any road running in a trail shoe, but you can take your running shoes off road if surface is relatively stable, such as crushed gravel. Trail running does not just work lower legs, but all muscles associated with running, including lateral knee stability. It also will help develop coordination. You can continue to incorporate trail running throughout season for strength maintenance. An added bonus is that it adds variety to your training, and scenery is better.
