64 this year, thankful that I can still hunt public land on the ground and walk in just as far as ever and still drag out my own deer.
I use to think 55 was ANCIENT.....
Even though I still have a ways to go, when I stop and think about it, darn, it's not that far off.
Can't stop the clock.
The older I get the more I hunt and fish. Hunted at least 80 days this past gun season.
No you didn't. You went picture takin and toted a gun just in case.
I can`t wait till next year. Our woods should be full of sho-nuff big bucks.
I turned 66 last November. If I can breathe I'm going deer hunting. If I can't breathe and I'm dead, somebody take me deer hunting.
57 this year. Hitting it just as hard as ever both in the woods and on the water. The drive is still there but I found myself really enjoying the outdoors more than ever, just not so serious. I also find that when I scout, I see more than ever because I have slowed down a little. Also find that I'm a little more careful as far as the risks go.
Two folks posting up in here that can turn this thread into an old folks subform............... just saying
You can get septic(sp?) powder at the barber shop or beauty supply.Stops the bleeding quickly. I usually poke my finger with my knife sometime while gutting ,skinning or cutting up a deer.that's important - we don't heal up as fast as we age so it pays to be a little more careful. I nicked my finger on a broad-head in October and I thought it was never going to stop bleeding. Thank goodness I carry duct tape in my rucksack! I think I'll start packing a first-aid kit too.
