It's also about desire. If you have the will, we can find a way. I know plenty of guys who would help drag/pack an animal at a moments notice. If I live within a reasonable vicinity of any of you, I will help.

It's also about hunting smart and within your limitations. My dad couldn't walk the past few years, so we found a spot for his blind that I can drive the truck to. He has lost his desire now and probably has hunted his last hunt at eighty. frown

Grandpa shot his last deer at 92. Doe, open sights, Marlin 336C 30-30 with Rem 150gr Core-Lokt bullets, on the run, through the forest. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't been sitting right next to him when he did it. Oh yeah, he racked one in, shot, racked another, shot again, Two hits, one in the heart and the other in the lung. He died 3 weeks before the next season...a life well lived. smile
