Mr Fisher, my situation is very similar to yours. Meat hunter, 70’s, SS, no family close, my wife won’t help get a big game animal out of the woods.
We moved here to be close to my Son and family and then he got a job overseas, so for the same reasons I won’t put in for tags this year.
I have discovered turkey hunting, it is a lot of fun, much easier to get out of the woods. Still bird hunt and fly fish. But without help, when you get this age It’s time to slow down and enjoy the memories.
To all the younger hunters, slow down and enjoy the hunt, friends and family. Make your memories, don’t worry so much about the trophy, more about the experience. Keep shooting and adapt the best you can.
