USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Backcountry Hunters and Anglers’ annual Hike to Hunt challenge encourages outdoor enthusiasts to get outside and raise awareness for public lands and waters. The fundraiser for the nonprofit lasted two months and had more than 500 entries.

While the competition was hosted on Under Armour’s Map My Hike app, the winner of the competition’s mileage challenge actually dual tracked his efforts. Joel Smith, a Texan hunter and angler, also used his GoWild app for Garmin to record rich data from his journey.

Miles of Data

According to BHA’s website, Joel Smith recorded 857 miles over the span of 60 days. Through GoWild, Joel was also able to track a considerable amount of data:

• Joel’s average hike was more than 3 hours across 75 total hikes tracked on GoWild. That’s about the average time for a Major League Baseball game.
• He burned 88,420 calories, meaning he earned 589 beers.
• The total ascent was 3,290 feet.
• Speaking of Texas, Joel often hiked in excess of 102º Fahrenheit.
• Joel’s average heart rate was 109 beats per minute, and he maxed out at 182 beats per minute on a few hikes.
