I'll be 66 this coming April. My son lets me use his quad if I need it. I'm a member of the Rangers of the Ohio Company. It's a historical reenacting group from Washington PA. I hunted this year with some of the guys, 59-68, in the early doe only ML season using our flinters. We take our time and check on each other. My wife likes that. She dislikes my going out alone, just like other wives. But she was glad I got my buck the second tuesday of regular season....by myself. Big deer, messed up rack, meat tastes great. I think that regardless of your age, you need to be intellegent about how we hunt. If your breathing heavy and the heart starts thumping, STOP, rest and when your calmed, restart. Be smart. Do your Dr appointments and be smart. If you doubt your ability to go out hunting, remember the good times. Don't fret it; find a new hobby and create new times and memories.
