I used to persistent hunt to failure, ended up with bulky calves and tibialis.

Where were you doing this? Were you ever successful? How did you do it, like what were your tactics? So many questions!

I’ve never heard about modern people doing serious persistence hunting, except for a stunt that I read about years ago. I think it was organized by like Outside or some running publication that got pro marathoners to try and they failed because they didn’t know anything about hunting
