I average about 11 miles a hunt and usually hunt for half a day. Now that the snow is flying hunts are not as long mileage wise but they are more demanding.

I have had a tracker on my dog on one outing and she put down 20 miles in 5 hours in grouse country she works close in that stuff rarely getting out past 100 yards. This time of year in chukar and Hun country She is rarely closer than 200 and often out at 400 plus searching the next hillside.

Also my shins are a mess always covered in cuts and bruises this time of year. It takes a season to get used to it but eventually you learn to love the pain.
