Cold Weather Boots Recommendation
I’d go with a double mountaineering boot like the La Sportiva Baruntse. Changing socks won’t do any good if the liners are soaked with sweat. Not sure what your lodging situation will look like, but the nice thing about a double boot is the removable liner for easy drying. A vapor barrier sock...- timber_hunter

I saw that Huntin' Fool article with the harvest stats. He chose 502 because it was the only unit he thought would be open after he got back from guiding in September, not because of the number of rams. HF's preferred unit is 501. Not a fan of his content necessarily but I've been voraciously...- timber_hunter

Weight
You've got a lot of time until your hunt. I would recommend forgoing heavy pack work outs for the time being. Instead, focus on general cardio fitness by putting in long days of hiking and scouting in the mountains. When you're 2-3 months away from your hunt, start slowly adding heavy pack...- timber_hunter

Workouts! What are we doing to prepare?
In my experience, the best way to get elk fit is tons of hiking with lots of elevation gain, i.e low intensity cardio. Well-conditioned legs and lungs are key, upper body strength less so. As the season gets closer, higher intensity workouts with weight up steep hills (something like 0.5 miles...- timber_hunter
