Average age of the hunt talk crowd.

Guy on my crew just retired last week at 64. Life goals for me is to be still moving as well as he does at 55. Just never slow down I guess

Hell, I'm full boomer who did not think I would make it to 19. Almost didn't several times.
Dr. told me I have 2 maybe more...4 years ago. I turn 71 this month.
The Gravy Years.

I’m old. 60.
Someone with more IT (younger) should ask the favorite knife for each decade. I have a tiny old timer and a bigger buck. Still sharp after almost 50 years of gutting and skinning.

Watch who you’re calling old here…..age is just a number, remember!

If you take exception to being called old then you ARE old. I'm proud of the accomplishment of making it this far.

63 in a couple weeks.

1963 was a good year!

"Too soon old ... too late smart!" my Mom.

1963 was a good year!

It was, as that's when I graduated from Great Falls High School!

True statement!

I turn 75 next month. Recently, I told my wife that there is no way to spin 75, other than your'e old.

As far as hanging it up, it is year by year. I intend to hunt elk again this year. I put in for moose and bighorn sheep tags.

I exercise diligently to hold onto what is left. I hope to be able to swing a leg over a horse at 80, if I make it that far. Right now, it is not a problem.

Life goes by pretty quickly. Certainly there are a lot of years, when you are past your prime. If you keep you waistline under control, and exercise, it's possible to stay in the game. It can't be like when you were 30, but it beats the hell out of giving it up.

I think that the poll doesn't go far enough. It should have a 70+ and an 80+ . Lumping us +70's isn't right!

My buddy Garry was 86 when acute Leukemia got him. He was getting ready for his yearly elk hunt and died a couple days before he was getting ready to leave.

1963 was a good year!

So was 1961

 

[BigHornRam]

So was 1961

That's like back in the stone age.

Saw a recent video where they said the majority of hunters are about to turnover…. And by that I mean die. This is not even close to what I have witnessed in the field. In my neck of the woods I would say hunting and outdoors are as popular as ever. Especially with the young crowd. More young than old hunting.

How old is the HT?

Yabba-dabba-doo, kid!

Not ready to turn over and die quite yet!

You mean the stoned age.
