This whole age thing sucks. Turning 50 this year, my 52 year hunting buddy has already called it quits. He's an electrician and his career has been hard on his body, says the last thing he wants to do on days off is walk 5 miles through deadfall on a steep up/down slope. I totally get it. I feel for everyone hurting and understand how the woods keeps calling us. Your stories and advice here are precious.
