So, while posting on here, and being addicted to the classifieds 😄, I see your handles, read what you say and sometimes interact through conversation either by phone, or here without ever shaking a hand, knowing an approximate age, or even what they look like. So here, post a recent pic of yourself and drop an age(or not). It will be fun.

Here's me last week on about a mile from our property in northern New Mexico. 54 years young!

We did an age thing some years ago. The average was 63. We can do it again, I think I’ve gotten older.

I’m 71, 69 in pic

I turned 72 in January, older than Mule Deer and even, if you can believe it, gnoahhh and ingwe. Never smoked, and lost 45lbs or so the last couple of years, so barring whoopsies, I may have some good years left in me. Family on both sides were long-lived if they didn’t eat or drink themselves to death or smoke.

74 last week. I took up running when I turned 50. 5-11 and weigh 140 pounds. Last year I did a 5k with a time of 26.46 first place in the 70 and up age group of 12 guys. Racing again this year on April 13 and hoping to win my age my age group.

That's cool. I've recently dropped 60 pounds and have changed my eating habits for the better. Turning 50 certainly got me thinking about ways to get healthier. Lots of good venison helps too!😁

Ya got me by exactly a year Pappy, but I think Ingwe has us both beat. He directed Lee's artillery fire at Gettysburg after all.

I still maintain some bad but satisfying habits but aim to keep on squinting through gun sights for years to come.

I'm 66 yrs old. Here's a pic taken a couple of weeks ago. I took my 9 year old Grandson Turkey hunting. He shot his first Gobbler.

I love hunting with the little ones. Fun stuff.

55 yesterday. I've definitely noticed a metabolism change since 50. The lifestyle that worked up to now ain't cutting it. Try and get some serious cardio at least 3 times a week - running when there's no snow and backcountry skiing when there is (30 mins up for every 5 down!). But, I've got to look at the diet. Some of you guys are an inspiration! I want continue hunting the mountains for a while yet. Last August:

As someone else mention, I'm pretty much always on the other end of the camera. I take a lot of pictures, but not of myself. I guess I'm technically in the picture here via my shadow a couple months ago🤷‍♂️😂

Come October I'll be 75, I've lost 70# in the last few years sneaking up on what I weighed when I got married 37 years ago. Workout in the gym 3 days a week and walk a mile every day, never smoked but will have a beer or mixed drink every now and then.

We lived in Palmer for four years(Helen Dr, about two miles behind the Noisy Goose)! By far, my favorite place I've lived. We had a view of Pioneer Peak from our bedroom. Moved back to Virginia when my health nose dived and found out I have Ankylosing Spondylitis.

I am 73 and still at it. My late friend Don used to say "go as hard as you can as long as you can". This is the only pic I have of me I had in photobucket. Too lazy to add to that site. This is elk #26. Count is now 27, mostly cow.

I’ll be 50 in July. Hard to believe. They told my folks I wouldn’t live long and I’d be pretty sick often…turns out they underestimated me!

55 - This is me in my "required" costume in our gift shop in Alaskaland. I don't have many pictures of myself. I hate the notion of retiring but I need to hunt and fish.

Good afternoon to you sir, I hope that the day out on the east coast of Virginia behaved for you and you're well.

As others have noted, I'm often a solo hunter and don't get many photos where I get in.

That said, if you go to the news item in the link, at the 1:40 mark they're interviewing a little cowboy looking guy who I'm told looks and sounds a whole lot like me.

https://globalnews.ca/video/9482307...i8qjU4X2M0rs3HaWvRKUarTbpxJ_8ZYbiUb_a48g

Lord willing I'll turn 62 this fall and yes, I did the sheep count again this year, helped organize it as it turned out.

Thanks for the thread and to those who've joined in, it's interesting to put a face to the names.

All the best.

Dwayne

I turned 60 last Nov. Been rode hard and put up wet most of those years. Called out of work last night and that's something I almost never do.
I hate that mainly because I was going to tell them I'm retiring and April 5 would be my last day.
If I posted a picture it would crash the fire'.

As someone who crunches numbers a lot, some habits die hard. So for anyone who was curious, the mean (average) age of this thread so far is 63 & the median is 62. Guys in their sixties were also the largest group. Not a big surprise there based on intuition if I had taken a guess instead.

Turned 63 in March. Last July got serious about my health. Lost 65 lbs. Down to 174 now. Plan on staying there. Have a backpack Mule Deer hunt planned for next season with my brother. Wouldn’t have been able to do it last year. Looking forward to it this year.

Just turned 69 last Sunday the 24th. Never really thought I would make it to 40. Now, I'm half a century plus nearly two decades. Where did all that time go?

I will be 72 the end of October. 6 months clear of bone cancer. Still spend October in the Upper Peninsula chasseing grouse and woodcock. I do a Quail hunt in Georgia each year and shoot sporting clays competitively with SXS shotguns mostly Parker's.

I'm a gun loonie in the first order, rifles, shotguns and old S&W's. I especially like custom rifles both bolt guns and single shots. I have failed the 12 step program so many times I can't count them. I also enjoy a fine cigar and a good bourbon as well. I deer hunt from November 15 through January 1 (pneumonia
side lined me quite a bit this year) and take a different rifle most every day. There are 5 new additions to the rifle line up looking for the big one next season.

78 and fast approaching 79, killed my first deer in 61, elk in 65, last elk in 2023. I am a daily hiker averaging over 3 miles a day and I believe that helps my fitness and longevity. Hoping to get a few more seasons in before my times runs out.

Seventy-six to date and having a tough time getting my buddies out for hunting and fishing. Seems there are more solo experiences now, but I can still get the drift boat down the river, feel lucky, and have no complaints. Every experience could be the last time, but I'd sure like to get in another 20 years or so. Still a lot of crap I want to do.

I had titled this one "Turn around damn it."

Cookie, above and out of focus, is seventy-one, and we've spent 52 of those years together. She just got a new hip/knee, mirrorless camera, and has some bigger lenses on the way.

More years and experience around here than I suspected and mostly a fine bunch. Wish we were all a bit closer, as I'm sure there are some great stories to be heard.

I'm 29 y/o. Been that age since 1981.

Heck, Jack Benny was 39 for 40 years.. so why can't the rest of be that also?

A couple more years and you can star in the remake of Grumpy Old Men! Maybe you can do the Bad News Bears soon.

Will be 69 this fall. Still huntin', fishin', campin', workin' on the farm, and riding my motorcycle. Wife and I both still have getting an elk on our bucket lists, and she has Parkinson's, so we're gonna be getting after that in 2025.

How in the world do y'all get those big photos to post?? I can't figure it out.

Oh yeah, this is from last fall with my friend Battue who posted above; a pure pleasure to pheasant hunt with. This is his dog who agreed to sit by me.

Brad, we connected here of course with me noting and enjoying his straightforward posts on shotguns. He’s extremely knowledgeable on all things shotgun. We pheasant hunted over a week at Dukxdog’s Bunkhouse in Gettysburg, SD last fall, he and his two spaniels. He was a great companion!

And you are much too kind! 😉

The photo of the pheasant hunt was taken during a hunt while we were staying at Duxdog's Birddog Bunkhouse. Great host and a very good hunting area.
