Thread: Middle aged but "Distinguished" Members

43 and came to hunting more recently but get out regularly. Enjoy the walk and the bush, more a meat hunter than a trophy guy. AFW - Another farkin Wellingtonian

Well I'm in the right age bracket, but certainly not a hunter yet. I first picked up a rifle about 2 and a bit years ago, other that three shots with a 22 about 20 years ago which resulted in 1 rabbit and a hare at 70-90m (my first shots with anything). I'm with geezejonesy with the three daughters and getting very grey at 48, but not getting heavy and lazy like VC as I'm the bread winner, cook and chief bottle washer as well. Sure wish I'd got into this a lot longer ago before this body was so knackered. If I was any other species I would have been put out of my misery tears ago.

So far I've only done small game and the odd game bird while amassing the gear and skills to tackle something bigger. It will come, ... coz I'm a determined cheeky little sod.

You are on the money there. I take young fellas for a youth organisation, helps maintain some sanity.

Ive got a couple mates with three girls and they are beaten men!

Im 52, been going in the hills since I was 13. Get into the backcountry most weekends, and if not for weekend , day trips. lucky to live in a place where I can walk straight out my door into the hills. Mostly solo trips , happy with my own company. Observe lots animals and only take meat for freezer when needed.Young guys round here want to know my Spot X's but they're to lazy walk.

Having girls might have its challenges but you get to scare the fuck out of the pimply faced teenage boys that come to pick them up for a date. That in itself is a hell of a fun sport.

Neckshot and VietnamCam both have baby faces and can smoke me up a hill, they need to come down to the young hunters thread

your age group ends at furrtyim gonna start a homeless group!

If I end up with girls I think I'll just drown them until I pop out boys....

You tangle with the barbed wire fence? Don't answer!

My old mum wasn't very big and popped out two lots of twins. The last two 7lb6oz and 8lb. They did actually want triplets and the last one was going to be named Dennis. They're not sure where the middle one got to, but I got the next name up on the list.
