Title: How Many
Post by: penrosefred on February 14, 2010, 09:45:00 AM
Just wondered, I am 78 yrs. old today, Just wondered how many guys and gals that are 78 are still hunting and fishing? No medication ( my wife of 57 yrs either )I fished over 100 days last summer and killed a doe with my compound, hope to do it with a long bow this yr that I built. I have been building some board bows and I lam take down long bow that turned out pretty good. I have been really blessed.

Happy Birthday Fred. I think most of us wonder how long we can continue enjoying the outdoors. As stated above, you are an inspiration and I hope you get that deer with your new long bow.

You are an inspiration Fred....

My hunting partner is 74, still climbs a tree like a cat squirrel, and hunts longer and harder than anyone I know. I only hope I'm able to do the same, if and when I reach that age.

Happy Birthday.

Fred,  congratulations.  You are old enough to be my big brother.  My father in law is now 95, and hunted with his bow until he was about 92; it was a 40 pound longbow.

Happy birthday Fred, you are a great example.

Ritchie, I think it's attributed to a diet rich in OLIVE OIL.
