Early spring will include some hunts in easy country suggested by a friend and an overnight trip or two as well. Fully retired I can pick my days so a few more bush walks or gentlemen's hunts (walking with rifle) should be on the cards in late winter.
Regards Grandpamac.

Good. I do exercises with weights every day (2x5kg) - have been for the last 2 years. Keeps my upper body ok. I keep my hill fitness up by hunting in the hills. Last week I did 16km in 2 days including carrying a deer for a couple of KM, but that was over doing it and my knee is suffering now. Pills are my friends.

65 and my hunting now seems to involve longer and steeper walks than my younger days although a bit slower.
Love seeing animals and quite often don't worry about pulling the trigger

three weeks off 72 and still doing what I did when I was 40
