[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5539913, member: 2474"] Until I die or become incapacitated. Have told my family many times that when God calls me home I hope someone has to cut my safety harness & lower me to the ground 😂. Actually started planning for this period 20 years ago when I formed my hunting club. Have got 3 buddies that I wanted a place that we could go to as long as we wanted. We've been blessed to have hunted & fished together from FL to AK for past 40+ years. Now we range in age from 66-71 and our golden years have arrived. We've worked hard to get our camp established & comfortable campers setup for each of us. That way we don't have to listen to each other's snoring, getting up 6 times to pee or sleeping in if we want. One thing that we've done at camp when it comes to work, is to setup dedicated teams to handle specific to tasks. We've got stand teams, plot teams, shooting house teams, etc ... Everyone knows what is expected each year & has a deadline to meet. Work can be done when convenient for each team which really helps with logistics as some of members live 10 hrs away. One thing I am having to re-evaluate is my western hunts. This past season in SD really opened my eyes on what my limit has become. Even though we were only at 3,300ft in elevation, snow was knee deep and really kicked my butt. Hunted elk 4 years ago at 10k feet in a wilderness camp and made it okay, but noticed a huge drop in my stamina on this SD hunt... Sitting on a bunch of WY preference points for elk/deer/antelope for myself & two grandsons and beginning to wonder if I can really pull off 3 more western diy hunts. [/QUOTE]
