Appreciate every day you can get up from bed and move freely, some can't. I wll be 59 in a month and like others still get there- just a tad slower.Enjoy life and your family, we never know when it will be our time to pass over.

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Nice to see so many other, umm... "mature" folks on this site!
I turned 50 last month too. Had a heart attack this spring and it's forced me to pay attention to my health for the first time in my life!
I have to say that I've never felt better, so Happy Birthday to you and Shoot Straight!

The spring of 2001 (33 years old) I decided that enough was enough and stopped dreaming about going on bowtrips and started to make them happen.. We talked about how short life was while in a bear camp (my first "big" bowtrip) three weeks after 9-11...

I have worked a 2nd seasonal job to help pay for my trips since 2001.  At least two out of state or the USA bowhunts every year since. Canada, all over the US (13 states) next summer to Australia and when I get old to South Africa as I hate to sit in blinds. I'll do this when I get too old to hump mountains...

Hard work makes it happen. Only have two biggies left on my list. To bowhunt South Africa and to chase goats in the "grand canyon" on Hawaii...

Don't wait brothers,, make your dreams happen...

Man you guys are old!  :biglaugh:  Being just 34, 50 seems so far away.  Thanks for the words of wisdom.  Now, don't go tellin' my dad that I'm actually listening.  It might just let him down.  Happy Birthday!

Keep hunting and let someone else worry about time.

Your still young...I'll be 58 in August. The key is to stay in the best shape possible, get in some physical exercise and watch your diet.

Past 15 yrs I've been using a High Potency Multi Vitamin, Calcium/Magnesium for bones and Omega3-6 with Flax for heart care. So far no serious health issues...Thank God.

Just remember to take your time when hunting...especially climbing any steep Mtns or dragging out that whitetail....your not 25 anymore! Good luck and belated HBday....

Can't remember 50 anymore. Those numbers really don't exist--we just made them up.
