You're never too old
« on: October 11, 2007, 08:43:00 AM »
You're never too old to be out hunting!

Bill Carlos a friend of my families is here in Ohio visiting for the week and asked if he could sit in my stands a couple of days while he was here. I showed him my three stands and told him he could sit in which ever stand he wanted when ever he wanted to.

Yesterday morning he shot a button buck, tracked it, field dressed it, dragged it, and hung it at my house all by himself at 78 yrs. young. Iasked him why he didn't get my dad to help him (dad's on vacation) and he said he could do it and didn't need the help.

That's awesome! I can only pray that I'll reach that age and be healthy enough to do that!    :pray:

That's inspirational. Kinda makes me feel guilty for complaining about the "work" that I have to do after killing a deer.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Awesome! Great story and inspiring for anyone with the heart of a hunter. Thanks for sharing.
God bless,Mudd

PS: I can tell you that this getting old isn't for the faint of heart. It takes a little longer to get to the stand but allows us to sit still longer.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.
