You walk 100 yds down your driveway to get the mail...then forget what you just walked down there for...turn around and head back to the house thinking you forgot something there!

You still have scars from making a rapid decent down a tree while using a Baker treestand or have more scars from hunting with a quickie clamp on quiver without a hood.

You know you're getting older when you're too old to be dangerous and just young enough to think you are!!

Now mind you I'm ONLY 45, but I'm beginning to worry less about silencing my bow and more about silencing the elbow of my bow arm!!   :eek:  CKruse

You know your getting old when the popping in your knees is louder than the crunch of the leaves under your feet.  :(

When the bags under your eyes are lower than the lenses of your bifocals.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

I am old enough to have put a towel over the bathroom mirror, Tom.  :saywhat:  

I just couldn't take that kind of shock first thing in the morning.  "[dntthnk]"
