Waal, I'm 69. That means Im 70 later this year if I ain't winter kill. I'm still pulling 65# bows of pure hickory that I made and treking out in the woods around the house. Don't climb though. I've shot the tops off many a dandyline.

I am 51 and plan on spending my Septembers out west chasing my favorite species, the great Wapiti!! I have come to realize that I love the preperation leading up to this hunt every year. The level of commitment that is required, the love of shooting your bow daily, the love of practicing your calling! I just hope that when I am in my 70's that I will still be chasing elk out west!! Go live a little!!!!!!!!

Fred Kasch was still shooting until the end, I believe. He was 94 when he passed. Don't spend time worrying. It only shortens your fun time.

I,m just 57 but still doing the same things as far as hunting as i ever was. Just maybe go at a little slower pace now. But I,ve got friends a lot older than me that are still going strong.

I'm 56 and in better shape now than in my 20's. Still shoot 70-80# bows and still do all my hunting on my own effort. Never owned a 4 wheeler and never will. My father-in-law was still hanging treestands and bowhunting at 85. If God will allow it I may have a few good years left.

I just turned 56 and hunt every chance I get . I never went skydiving or bungee jumping or white water rafting but if they were the only ways to get to a hunt then sign me up . I always knew I would get old just never thought I would wear out .Don't worry about things you can't change . Hunt every chance you can as there's no hunting in the ground .

I'm 60 and still pull a 65# bow without difficulty. Hunt and shoot within the limits of your physical condition and always stay within the fun zone. You should still have quite a while left to enjoy. Besides starting older has on distinct advantage. You won't go through many years of youth in awe of the old timers. You'll start out immediately as one of the grouchy old farts.
