[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5812633, member: 12599"] I understand, but from a slightly different perspective. I have two close hunting buddies, one two years younger, (I’m 54) and the other soon to be 70 this Spring. I hunted alone a lot up until around 30, but these two guys became great friends and it’s been a blast. But, the 70 year old is dealing with crippling neuropathy in his feet. We do everything possible to keep him going without damaging his pride. Most times he’s pretty good about letting us fret over him. I’ve threatened to do whatever it takes though, to get him to a stand if he wants. I see the day coming when he’ll not be able to walk to his stands, and we’ve been thru some awesome and rugged hunts over the years. As rough as it’ll be on him, it’ll be rough on us as well when he no longer joins us. He’s not an overly emotional person, and doesn’t let on much but I know it’ll take some of the fire out of him. We are at the age to where we have fewer hunts ahead of us than behind, but I’m gonna do everything possible to go until my body says enough, then go some more. [/QUOTE]
