I used a tie down and ratcheted his arse up off the ground on one side so that I could get under him with my arms and heave him up.

Greetings,
Onto page 4 in 2 days. Must be a lot of oldsters on the forum. I think the really important thing to remember is to rejoice in what we still can do rather than mourning the things that we now can't. I have mentioned my struggles with mobility before but perhaps not the extent. It has been an ongoing struggle since my late teens with periods when I could barely walk. Now in remission my mid week Grandpa wanders in the bush are necessarily short but still greatly enjoyed regardless and will continue for a while yet. I rejoice that although doddery I am still upright and with a fair percentage of my marbles intact. Not all of my cohort are so lucky.
Regards Grandpamac.

My old saying that's ringing truer each year passing.
My mind writes cheques my body can't cash!

Good on ya @Tahr , just keep adapting and shooting , I need to adapt a different style now as I can’t carry much weight , shooting red stags in the mountains and getting the head out is something regrettably I have to call quits on , however I am fit otherwise so chasing Chamois is a good option .

I hurt my back and neck again about 6 weeks back trying get get a wooden stake out of the ground , it broke and I fell over backwards on my ass , as simple as that .

No way do I want to give the hunting up though , just need to get smarter with what I have left to work with LOL….

I have a simple philosophy. I intend to die young as late as possible!
