It's already been said here, but I'll chip in my .02. I've been a packer for a Moose hunting outfit in Alaska, and I currently live in Wyoming. Every single client I saw asked questions about weight, and we limited them due to the fact that we utilized super cubs to land on sand bars. But for all the talk of rifle weight, pack weight, booze weight, NONE of them were in shape. Lose 15 lbs on the waist and the rifle weight will matter less. And of course, youve got altitude. If you want to make it a good hunt, hit the gym 3-5x a week with cardio and resistance training. That takes a lot more discipline than shopping for a rifle that is a 1lb or two less..
