Yes. You’re being more focused on quiet steps going in and out of hunting stands. Quads are worked harder being more precise/quiet with your steps vs normal gated walking.
And like mine, are not accustomed to “winter walking/stalking” vs summer “yard walking”. Riding a desk vs farm work I grew up on suk’s as far as fitness level goes! I just can’t get in the groove of throwing weights around inside a building.

ETA: I hunted with a guy that was a fitness buff and he told me that if you can girt out a cramp (generally 72 seconds) that it wouldn’t come back...that’s a lotta teeth gritting for 72 second in the midsts of a hard cramp!!
