I am 26 and loved the article. As with Jon I can't completely relate but I look foward to not caring what others think about me and speaking my mind with more frequency. I would love to have the ability to have "senior moments". Oh...what was that dear? LOL!

I can relate to what Gene has written about. If you are young buck save this article and look it over some day when you hit the 60 + year period and his thoughts will resonate very heavily with you as they did me. I hunt by myself, I hunt longer and I cherish every moment in the stand or the blind. If I find myself drifting away from those thoughts I pull back even harder to soak up what is around me. I love walking out of the woods after a morning on the stand smiling and at peace. Hell I am smiling when I walk in when it is dark. The feelings of frustration that so many comment upon just don't appear anymore; and that is worth its weight in gold. tom massaro

Thank you for all the positive comments. I think I've received about as many emails and comments on this article than any I've ever written. No doubt many of you can relate to it. It fascinates me to no end that the drive is still so strong even though I'm low on gas. I sat in a tree for four hours yesterday afternoon with wind chill factors hovering around zero. No complaints except for the wind. Concerning the 1944 hospital bill of $80.50 for two babies.... you have to remember it was higher than normal, due to the extra labor costs involved by the necessity of calling in a circumcision team....

I'm told it was an exhaustive effort on the part of the team.

I'll be 70 come May. My gun hunting friends can't figure out how I get so many rabbits with my bow. I told them when they reach my age they'll find out. They cover twice the area I do but get less game.

Gene, I'm surprised you carry that burden so well, I have had to come up with creative ways to strap it down myself, but you and Barry must have to really come up with some good ones to "Conceal Carry"........
Will miss you at the expo this year,

Long as I can pull this bow
Long as I can hike the hills and walk among the trees
I keep on trying
My goals are high but I don't care
The fun is in the getting there, it justifies the end
So try, try again
