Prevention: Fitness, stretching, yoga, there’s a program called “foundation training” that I’m doing, $20/month for online access - made a world of difference for my back.
During the hunt: Gatorade, especially when you are sweating buckets while dealing with an animal.
After: high bioavailable protein (whey shake or bone broth) for muscle repair, Epsom salts bath, A535, sauna if you can - but you have to do both the hot and cold part to get the most benefit.
DO NOT do heavy stretching immediately prior to activity, you can damage muscles when they are cold, stretch ligaments/push joints beyond normal range of motion which increases injury risk during exertion. Warm up and maybe a few light stretches.
