I'm hoping they have to dart me out of my treestand.
It may be mid-July, I may be struggling to chamber a pack of Rolaids in my 30-06, but I want to be up there.

Truly inspirational!
A couple years ago I witnessed a a guy in his 80's or 90's mooching through the deer woods with a walker, with his rifle clamped across the handlebars.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

he was hunt on ward burtons property. he has some prime hunting land. ward is a great guy ,i got to know him during the fight to stop the shenandoah fish kills from 2004 -2010. he did a lot of fighting to get our sewage treatment plants upgraded with better filtration systems.
i have a very close friend that missed his first season of deer hunting this year at 88 yrs old.he says he started hunting at 18. i surely hope i can hunt 70yrs.

That is so freaking awesome! Way-to-go, Clyde! By the time I'm 104 you can hunt Price co. with us all. By then it might be good again.

Inspirational to say the least. I plan on trying to out do him in a few years! God willing....
I have no excuses now, after watching him on video, to complain about sore joints, too tired, too hot, too cold, etc.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

Good for him. I hope he stays healthy and has many more years ahead..

Nice bucks. I'm 56 and his grandkids are probably older than me. I hope I'm still going strong 10 years from now, much less 50.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

I need to show this to my Dad. He's 95 and still hunting. Maybe this will keep him going a few years longer. He still rides his 30 year old four wheeler and climbs into our 10-12 foot tower stands.
