Thread: Older Members?

Two years off 60, and still hunt Motu, Waioeka - although those hills are getting steeper every year. Gotta thank my mate and son for rekindling my deerstalking interests. Some awesome times.......................Got a spiker two weekends ago, and back in next Wednesday for three days - yeehah.

Good to get some feed back guys.Hot barrels,aches and pains lol.

Im 63 seem to get keener as I get older

64 year old dead after his quad rolled on him yesty on hill country round here RIP fulla

That happens far too frequently Dundee.

Shit. When I was in hospital I had 2 old guys as my room mates. One of them for that reason. A deer farmer and bike rolled on him.

Hey, that makes me feel better. I'm 48 (hardly feel a day over 95) and only picked up a gun 2.5 years ago. I too should have done so many years ago. Think I'll be sticking to the hills, and slightly dubious about that till I get a PLB. I have a lot of experience in the outdoors but not as strong and fit as I used to be. Body is down right dodgy to be honest, but I still like getting out there doing stuff.

At 67 I'm still dependent on moose for meat and I have no intention of stopping. I'll try to post some photos.

How many kgs of meat come off your average moose?

See I always knew those elusive buggers were still in Fiordland. Welcome to the forum alcesgigas. Toby, they are bigger than horses. I bloody near hit a large female going into Canada from the states in 2001.

Holyshitjesusrockyandbulwinkle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

So do we have another canuck? welcome mate.

Take your best shot Dougie. I take the piss out of people often enough.
