Yep their ease of training and off season keep is fantastic. I'm closing in on 60 and can do more, with a greater degree of comfort than I could when I was 30, 10' tall and bulletproof, albeit at a slower pace, generally. More geezers should take some time to learn there is a better way. My getting a couple llamas (now have almost 20) let my Dad hunt legit back country till he was 82 in comfort, with me doing the appropriate amount of camp work to make it happen of course. When you take a dozen or more for a week for two people you aint exactly doing without necessities... And a warm camp, dry boots/clothes really make it easier to hunt harder.
