Thanks everyone. I was not expecting all these birthday greetings. I guess getting older has a few perks.
My daughter and son-in-law are taking me with them to Mekoryuk next week on a muskox hunt and two years ago my son took us to Zimbabwe for cape buffalo.
And due to Covid, last year's bear hunt was postponed to this season so I have both a spring and a fall brown bear season to look forward to ! 😁

Everyone asks when I plan on retiring, but how can you retire from hunting ?
