Retired and ready to hunt more
« on: August 20, 2021, 08:58:32 PM »
Recently retired and ready to hunt out of state, especially hogs / javalina . Bear too. Been to Texas 4 times but it’s been 20 years.

Any Tradgang hunts coming out that a guy can get in on? 

Thanks

I quit my 40 a week job a year ago but not really retired. I have trouble  not having something going, and a lot of folks wanting help with something.

So I work in the bow parts shop, and help somebody when I can.  The helping people is about to end til January tho... :biglaugh:


Congrats to all you retired folks!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I retire officially in May. Then I am giving myself a Canada bear hunt as a retirement gift. I also plan on several more retirement gifts each year in the form of hunting trips. I have worked hard for 50+ years. I have earned my retirement.

I retired two years ago this week. People said that my historical fast paced life would never allow me to sit idle. They were wrong. I left the next day after my retirement party for a three week Colorado vacation and never went from 100 to zero in one day.

I still get a few calls from both former associates and my clients from time to time; but I've never regretted retirement....never will. The only thing that I wish was different is many of my old friends either don't have the time, resources, or health to make the out of trips that I have always planned for. It's a bit of a bummer to do it alone.
