I walk as much as i can. I have a sciatic nerve in my left back and hip that sometimes drives me up the wall. Some days it doesn't bother me at all and other days it fells like 10,000 skeeters sitting on my hip and thigh all sucking blood at the same time. Just stings.
Course now if I take the dog along he makes sure I keep moving. I have been known to be following the dog and be bouncing off trees and rocks as he merrily pursues a rabbit or a tweety bird. I get no respect.
If he sees the game first I'm in deep trouble if I don't check him up before he gets a wild hair.
Except for cross country skiing all or I should say most of my hunting is stand hunting, I'm 70 + and really don't have a lot to prove anymore so I just take it easy and enjoy myself more. I think I like this alot better than the days when I was searching for the 30 point buck.
Do you Turkey hunt? When I was traveling back and forth to Ohio I did quite a bit of it. We have a good Turkey population in ND the only problem is they are attached to some farmers close up property. Of course the farmers are happy, they get all the turkeys they want.
Have a good one.
Best wishes, Bill
