How many more years of deer hunting do you have left?

[QUOTE="Snake, post: 5540413, member: 7051"] I'll be 69 next month and still use a climber but do have several ladder stands and loc ons on my property and the gentlemen that joins my property. Got permission on a new place this year and had to use my climber each time and I almost exclusively hunted it . Went a few times on my property and my neighbor's. Up until this year I could feel the desire leaving. I'd get up to go but would just set in the recliner . With this new place I felt like a kid in a candy store , always was like that hunting a new area . I have a very bad back, shoulder and knee so I'm not as mobile as I once was . Hunting these ridges I do tend to decide which way a deer may run before I shoot it 😂. On my property I can basically drive my four wheeler to the deer but on these other properties I don't have the luxury. Killed a young seven-point on the new area and although not that big a buck he about done me in. Dragging is just not for me actually let a couple other bucks go because of that but had one pushed my button I would have shot him and worry about getting him out after the fact ☺. If my desire holds up I'm hoping God will allow me atleast 5-6 years maybe longer. Who knows but when my grandson and hunting partner passed it bout took the wind out of my sails . Just got to take what hand your dealt with !! [/QUOTE]
