Up until 5-6 years ago,all I did was still hunt. I killed a lot of elk by sneaking up on them and shooting within 20 yards or so.I killed quite a few in their beds.
But age caught up with me I can't crawl thru that blow down anymore and about a mile walk is the limit for me.So now I mostly sit at some vantage point and hope a stupid elk walks by. I also put the safety back on a lot more and let some elk walk if they are in some nasty stuff . It isn't big deal anymore going home with an unpaunched tag.
However this season so far I have killed a cow elk,a whitetail deer and today a doe antelope, I could stretch it a little and say I was still hunting when I shot the cow.
I can only hope that when I get past 70, I'm still putting animals on the ground every year like you are.
