I'm gonna be 72 this year. Double knee replacements, screw in right wrist, cattaract surgery both eyes, detached retina surgery left eye, etc. I hunt alot slower, use ladder stands and ground blinds. I managed to take a pretty decent 8 point with my raven this year. When I can't get it done i guess i'll be camp cook, just being there will be better than sitting at home.
Smarter and slower wins the day. A friend 6 months older convinced me this year to spot geese in the morning and shoot in the afternoons --- much less tiring plus the setting up is way easier that doing it at 0 dark thirty. We had really tough snow conditions here for deer --- first time in many years I used a machine (tracked quad) to get to my areas -- saved my knees. That quad has been sitting for years with little use -- now it will get more.
As you say just keep at it as sitting at home does not cut it for me.
