How Many

penrosefred · 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.

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.
