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.
But I will add, it's because of back problems.
