When to Retire from Huntting ???

[Larryjk]

I am sittiing out elk and deer this year due to separated meniscus (cartlidge) in my right knee. The doctor tells me since it is healing without surgery it is best not to operate and let it heal naturally over the next year. I have an antelope license that is unfilled and good until Sept 30. I have been out looking because that is mostly what antelope hunting is --- looking through binoculars and spotting scope until the "big" one is located.
There are few "big" ones this year due to the extreme drought. I will permanently retire from hunting when I die --only then.
