My wife told me Saturday that I am getting to old to do all the work it takes to hunt deer and I should just relax and don't worry about all that stuff
My birthday was Saturday and I turned 75. I have been deer hunting for 65 years and I am not about to quit now. She said that one day they will find me in a stand dead from a heart attack or stroke. My response to that was. (that would be great). I have taught my sons and grandsons the sport also and they love it as I do. I thank God for my life.

What she probably doesn’t realize is that the work involved is what we enjoy the most. Plus staying active at your age is the absolute best thing you can do and i don’t mean that disrespectful.

I guess I’ll quit when the good lord takes it from me.

I will quit when my health no longer allows me to do it, when I don't have the money to do it or when death takes me home to heaven.

This. The killing is bittersweet because I don’t look forward to checking my cameras as much. Also once you’re north of 70 you have to keep moving

Keep on doing it until you decide you can't or your body says you can't. Otherwise, modify if need be but enjoy and get after it.

Tell her you're too old for deer hunting when you're too old for sex.

Deer, whenever I get sick of sitting there watching deer. Turkeys when I cant hear them any more.

Tell her you can die just as easy at home as you can in a deer stand. Not to mention it would be a much more peaceful death in the woods looking over Gods grand creation. Hunt as long as you can get up and get moving.

I'm 53 and I don't go at it as hard as I used to. I now hunt "smarter".
I cant ever imagine totally giving it up.
When I cant drive I hope to be living on the border of some NF property
or my own - so that I can just walk out the back door and hunt. If nothing
but skwurls.

My cousin and I said that when our grandpa quit hunting he would pass on. 2 months after that first season he didn’t hunt, he passed. That was April of 2016. In July 2016 he would have been 92!!
Keep moving and hunting men!!


Don't blame me for your bad decision-

This was from last November. I talked with his son, and Mr. Roberts was getting ready last season to go bear hunting.

105 years old. Never quit unless you have to.

I can’t imagine not hunting or not being in the woods. I can’t do things like I used too but I don’t have any quit in me so I guess my answer to this question will be When my toes are turned up or something very severe has happened that I can’t move


When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

I'm not as old as you Deerman, but I was rode hard and put up wet and it has taken a toll. I can no longer use a climber, which is the only way I enjoyed bowhunting, and I am not too enthusiastic about shooting one with a scoped rifle. As kind of a compromise, I have found enjoyment in hunting off the ground with an open sight 30-30, like my grampa did. Other than that, I like to film deer and show to the guys that could have gone to that stand what they missed out on or take a kid hunting. Their excitement is as good as my excitement for them. Like you, I really don't want to die anytime soon, but when I do, in a shooting house would be as good a place as any to go.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
