Just wondering how many bow hunters my age or older are still hunting, scouting  , climbing ladder stands and so forth. I am 86 and so blessed
I have been blessed, beyond measure.

I'm 72 and still doing all that stuff.  Still use climbing stands occasionally, though find hang on and ladder stands a bit more convenient.  Sure hope to be able to do it when I reach my 80s as well.  So far, so good.

Thanks for that question, Fred.  Now  I feel like a kid at 65! 
 I still use a hang on and a ladderstand, but have to admit I did sit on the ground on my last couple of outings last fall.  Probably cost me a deer, I might add.

I have found "sticks"  make it much easier to put up a  hang on stand.

Just turned 72 today and spent yesterday fishing a high lake and doing a hike at 12,800'.  I'm feeling it today but I'll be back for more.  Don't climb trees anymore but that never was a big part of my hunting style.

Fred, have we maybe meet at some ML events?

I'm 62 and I have stayed on the ground for the past 4 years.
