Remember: When your body burns more calories than it consumes during heavy exertion, especially during a multi-day event like hunting, it creates the conditions for a severe energy crash.
On-mountain performance (strength, stamina, and mental clarity) will gradually decrease as a hunter's calorie deficit increases day after day. Basically, try to manage the calorie gap, between your daily burn and daily consumption, especially over multi-day expeditions.
