I think we are pretty spread out as far as age here.

Some you can tell pretty easy by their posts. Some... not so much.

Let everyone know what era you come from.

I'll start.

56.

45

mentally I'm perpetually 16

54 in june

55 years old wise.

Nowhere did I mention "maturity"....

61 going on 85

67

I'm not as old as most of you azzhats think....but the " Spring Chicken " ship has definitely sailed....

73 here.

58 but I feel like 88 , seriously


Mike

I understand completely!🙁

66

61 in July. And hopefully one year from this July I'll retire!!

75, but I still think 25

just a young pup,65.

60 in june guess that's old enough to know better but young enough to not care!

65 today. Retiring at the end of this year.

57

39 this summer.......

50, body seems to be unsettled, runs between 25 and 85 depending on what I did the day before

41

55

80 in August.

Happy Burfday, Jim!

72 in November.

Looking in the rear view mirror at 69 and closing in fast on 70.

61

That still leaves a lot of room........just sayin

I'm 62.

Older than dirt.

1956 model

I'm 64+ ... don't look at the odometer!

53 'til my daughter starts picking on me, then I age rapidly.

Fifty Foe kick down da doe!

Aint nothing but a number with a big piece of cake.

66 next month

57

66, recently retired and really enjoying things.

Born in 1952....

So mentally, 17 and bullet proof.

Physically, about 80 and really shot up...

I can still run a 5 minute mile...

1. IN my mind,

2. trying to catch up on all the things that seem to constantly need to be done around the place.
the faster I go the further behind I seem to get.

52, wife and I both, 20 days apart.

Just Hit the Half Century mark on Tuesday

55

Geez, seems like you guys scared off all the youngsters.

47 and starting to feel it, getting old sucks

62... blessed with good health and still able to run a spray truck and not be completly whipped at the end of the day !

We are the youngsters, Ingwe is only here as a chaperone.

56

I am 70, yet still an optimist because I get better every day


mike r

58 and can tell it at the end of the day.

72 in July Still apply for elk and other hunts in 6 states. For some reason that I can't figure out, the mountains that those elk live on get steeper every year,

Born in the early part of 1959

i didn't realize you were such a young whippersnapper.
must be that cheap beer.

We will remain youngsters sluggin' it out with father time daily, that is until someone backs a backhoe off a trailer at the cemetery.

I'll be 53 in August but in my mind I'm still a kid.

My daughter noticed I made the masters division in the OKC Marathon and asked how I did that? I had to tell her it's cause I'm old...

Looks like I'm the whippersnapper round here

53

Wimmens will age a guy faster than cheap beer!

36. I guess I am the pup of the group. The Marine Corps ages the joints quicker than most jobs. I would guess my knees and ankles are pushing 50, and the constant ringing in my ears (Tinnitus) doesn't help. Maybe I'm just complaining when I should be grateful. I don't know much, but I know enough to keep my mouth shut and learn from guys like you all. Well most of you!

50. 25 in my mind, 75 in my knees.

57, Seems to be the second wave here.

73 in November. Came from era of Hank Sr., Elvis, Hippies, Ike Jacket and Vietnam. Still do two out of state hunts a year and RSA next year. Happy with all my girl friends.

54 (and so much more . . . )

69 in August.

Jobless, broke, soon homeless, and soon 60.

remember Alben W. Barkley

46. In pretty good shape and still going strong although there's definitely some things I can tell I'm not 18 anymore. Can still do the same stuff at near the same level but it's the recovery time after a hard day that's changed.

I just turned 81. Startin to slow down a little.

Hey man, I'm a really groovy 64. Far out, ya know?

Uh, I mean yo, yo, yo! I'm like 64, dude, and still a swingin' hep cat. Whether I'll get to 65 remains to be seen...

70 next month😬

:FORWARD: by Ron LaClair

The years go by and before you know it
your youth is gone and now you show it
Youthful shine and unwrinkeled skin
will never be your look again

Color is going from your hair
as white and gray take over there
Your knees no longer let you run
wind in your face that joy is done

Physcial strength of your early years
is wanning, wanning, replaced by fears
Fear of losing what once was you
fear of not doing what you once could do

Do not believe that all is lost
this look you have you've paid the cost
Those lines and wrinkels on your skin
are maps of battles fought hard to win

The drawn tired look, the sighs of strain
They are evidence of suffered pain
Wear this look as a badge of life
It shows you've gone through trail and strife


Experience, the price is high
and you'll keep paying until you die
but just set your sights on goals ahead
and don't look back but FORWARD instead

Doing better than me sport...I cannot see anything up to five paces, cannot hear anything past five paces, and need a breather when I cover five paces.

Is that an FZ09? Nice bike. I'm an FZ1 rider... at age 59

Two years shy of the half century mark...

62

63, but who's really counting anymore?

FZ1 is a pretty hot machine, a tip of the hat to you. Mines' not quite a 09, it's an FZ 07. Just finished putting a tad over 300 miles on it yesterday afternoon and it is the most fun I can have with my pants on. Maybe in a few more years it'll be the most fun I can have with pants on or off, but so far so good in that regard...

1960 model here.

64 last January. Retired this week and ready to play. Uh, after the honey do's are finished.

77 and 78 in October

The 07 is a sweet bike too. Riding to work and back is the highlight of my day.... other than the IPA I have when I get home to my favorite couch.

43

Still riding my Harley at 81

Four score and two my mother brought me into a cold world (40 below) with snow on the ground. Cheers NC

I think this was a much better place when I first joined..... not as many old farts.

Me? I'm only 45...

...when I joined that is.

Is "too damned old" a number? Especially applicable if you're only as old as you feel.

Excerpt from, “The Poetic Works of William Smith.”

"THE REAPER

I remember when my friends and I
Thought that youth and games would never die
We cherished the girls, grog and laughter
Ribald at night, meek mornings after
But now malt’s too strong and girls too young
All our stories old, our song’s been sung
We mumble in search of long dead wit
Humor now is the daily obit
Our high is sharing a friend’s demise
He was a fine lad, echo our lies
While we gloat that it’s him not me
Knowing that they always fall by three
Wallowing secure ’cause Sam was third
Surely there’s time ’fore my taps are heard
Then there’s news of the death of old Hugh
Well, hell, that clown never paid his due
Nights alone you feel the Reaper’s chill
Then at dawn there’s a fine, undead thrill
Check pulse, poke liver, no pain, no fear
Hit the bars ’cause he’s dead, you’re still here
No canes or taxis for you today
On this fine and smogless first of May
Jauntily out the door to the street
Gaily you greet all those that you meet
Then as you stroll you think of old Hugh
The wind sighs, “He was younger than you”
As a maverick tear rolls from your eye
You know you gotta laugh instead of cry
You’ve done some bad and you’ve done some good
You wouldn’t change things even if you could
’Cause through the years you’ve run a good race
The Reaper chased and couldn’t keep your pace
So toast those that live and those that die
And while you can, spit in the Reaper’s eye"

40

Older than I've ever been.

Damn! So, what was it like posting to threads using punch cards...?

67

49 this August.....whew

64 but I am not very mature.

P.

I'll be 55 this June, so far so good:)

A young spry 46 here !!

70 going on 25. I can't believe I made in this far!!

56

Entering my fourth year of retirement and enjoying it more every day, I'll be 68 on my birthday in October. With replacement parts at all four corners I'm starting to feel new.

I'm a pre-64.

51

I am fully aware that my youth has been spent
That my get up and go has got up and went
But I really don't mind when I think with a grin
Of all the grand places my get up has been!

77

Still killing bucks and turkeys and shooting long range!

Flew this P-51 on my 70th birthday:

Flew this dude on my 70th Birthday. by Sharps Man, on Flickr

66 in September

Soon be 56.

Dairy queen ice cream cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

54 here as well.

Did ya'll notice Ingwe didn't put a # down?

49 1/2, not in a big hurry for the other 1/2.

Nice - had a Yamaha Fazer in the late 80's - early 90's. I see quite a few similarities between the two. Boy that thing would stretch your arms out! Have since slowed down - hoping to live a little longer!

57

Too old to die young and too young to die old. 63 to be exact. I should have taken better care of myself!

Turned the big SIX O a couple months ago.

Is this what seventy feels like?

Old enough to remember when bell bottom jeans were

Old enough to know what a friend meant last night when he was snapping fingers on both hands ( A real hep cat, daddyo)

Old enough to think wool hunting clothes are still the shizzle.

Old enough to remember when kids could walk into a town 29 miles from San Diego with some 22's and have the lady at the cafe counter tell you to put them over in the corner.

Old enough to remember when Mitchell 300 and 308 reels were the ones to own when you outgrew a Zebco spincaster.

Old enough to remember when a Vaughn framing hammer was the approved method of driving American made sinkers.

Old enough to know that the skinny jean trend is one I WILL NOT be following.

Old enough to remember being the very first one in my family to buy a set of radial tires.

Old enough to enjoy the likes of Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Rodgers, Chuck Berry, Lonny Johnson. and many others

Old enough to enjoy the beauty and functionality of a nice walnut and blued rifle

Young enough to appreciate the utility of a synthetic stocked rifle.

Young enough to enjoy the ease of use of modern computers and be happy I never had to learn COBOL and Fortran to hang out on the campfire.

Young enough to enjoy relatively clean air and water compared to what we had "back in the day" in certain parts of the country..

Young enough to enjoy the likes of Five Finger Death Punch, The Pretty Reckless, Texas Hippie Coalition and others.


But as far as a number?....................................

Somewhere between Kaywoodie and FG.

And likely retiring in the next couple of months! (Hip Hip Hooray)

Geno

my mind thinks like a 19 year old. my body is as old as the hills.

i was gone for a long time before being born a bit after WWII on the Urth.

certainly if there's an ounce of justice in this world i'll live to be 104 and no more.

69 for a couple more months.

66

64. Taking the wife country dancing tonight, that will be 5 to 6 miles if picking them up and putting them down.

32

47

I'm beginning to see why this place is such a wealth of knowledge

36 for me

To old to rock and roll to young to die,
but your never to old to rock and roll.

68

Turned 47 May 01

51

55, but I passed a PT test designed for 21 year old's a couple of days ago. The main difference is that most of them don't feel it for the next week...

Turned 70...yesterday.

53

51

40 here, Army had me for half of that...

With all due respect, sir...

I don't think ships were invented yet during the Spring of your Chicken!


(Keep in mind I DID say, "with all due respect")

It's interesting how many of us are in our 50's.

I'm 54 and just skimmin' the cream.

"With all due respect" always precedes something disrespectful!

Born the day after Pearl Harbor. Me and WW2 are the same age.

Double nickels..........

45... for a couple more weeks!

58

65.

1957 model.
Turning 60 is much more painful than 50. Trust me.

30 here. Always said I was going to live to 112 so I can see 3 centuries so I guess I'm just getting going

73 next month and my joints are making me pay now for my misspent youth.

54 a couple of weeks ago

54

By the looks of it, I'm running in 4th place. I didn't realize there were so many young people around till I got on this thread. I bombed Texas a few days after the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. My Hover Round is a Kawasaki :):):) Killed 30 pigs in the last month and fixing to go arrowhead hunting. They tell me it's all down hill from here, I'm thinking more like straight down !!! LOL

67

51 and the youngest of three. Dad is 94 and says getting old ain't for sissies.

46 and loving life.

Old enough to know better.

59 but feel much older! still have the drive, but bodys getting worn out!

He ain't gonna tell ya because he's 46 and he looks like he's 64.

71

Did they show you respect or did they tell you to get the hell out the way because you were slowing them down?

60 years I've blessed this world.

What makes it great, is being a grandparent.

53

5 weeks and it will be 81. Last fall is to be my last moose hunt. But I was out shooting two days this week.

Jim

Same age as the Liberty Model Rugers....

41 this fall but I didnt hit puberty until 25...lol

My age always matches the Super Bowl number.

34.

I am seeing a trend here.

Oh you turbo suck!!!;)

Rock on! Good work.

66

About to become a septuagenarian!

60 and still roughnecking, I can still climb a rig Derrick, only do it when the crews are short handed though.

Wow you guys are old!

I am only 55 goin on 21.

37

Lol, I can do anything a 20 year old can do.........but.......Not as long and there is a recovery period!

I'm older than dirt


but younger than ingwe


I'm a tweener I guess

Yeah, but some the things a 20 year old can do, you'd need a fistful of $50's to accomplish.......

Lots of us here in our mid 50's... Interesting for sure.

I'm OK with not many youngsters hanging out here.... Not that they would.

Thats why I got a good job.........Still have that damn recovery period though.

67. BP & HR are better than any point in my life. (knock on wood)

Older than some. Not so much as others ...

65 in Oct.

I thought I got the "3" part, but 81?.

Thus far you are the pack leader, older even than me!

Better hope that the NFL doesn't employ too many more Cappernecks or there might not be any more SuperBowls. What would that mean?

Old Bryan Adams song....Summer of '69....That's me. I'll be 48 in August

Just turned 67. Some days I feel 47 some days 87......depends on the previous nights.

66, and loving it!

You guys need to know;
When it starts going away, it goes really fast
I've been doing the gym thing three days a week for ten years and recently I'm not even breaking even

Some trees don't live as long as I have been around!

45 and having a blast!

Chronological age 36. Body feels 66

52 in a couple weeks,I think

If they are redwoods, you are in deep do-do...

46

70

811 months tomorrow

If/When Ingwe dies,I think he should be cut in half and then count the rings,to find out how old he really is.

42

57

37 here...

32

Damn your OLD! As me. I'll be 57 in five days.

Tag

Oh, to be 55 again and know what I know now! :-)

60

69

57

I'm 7 years younger than Ingwe. 🍺

(Maybe more, that phugger is old!!). 😇

56 but bout to get into trouble actin like I'm 30something with my boys......before dementia got my dad, he maintained the work and walk of a 20yo i swear.

78

Will be 50 in 2 months. I do not feel it most days.

Medicare in Dec., if were both still here. ;-{>8

61 going on 16 if you'd believe my Wife

Hey that gives me something to look forward to! Maybe I'll smarten up ahead of time. Ha.

Older than dirt, and twice as smelly!

61 for them that do math.

John(dog)

63.....looking forward to the day the wife and I are retired.

Sneaking up on the big 6-0 in September.
Some days I feel older than white dog crap.
Other days I feel good enough to get in trouble.
As long as I can feel anything it's a good day!

Older than dirt (70). Still looking at the green grass from the top side. I need a bumper sticker that says "Adventure before dementia."

65

I'm thinking Ingwe didn't write a number down because his rock pen won't hold that much ink.

53 and after this last winter I'm starting to feel cutting Timber for 25 years and damn near 40 years rowing a drift boat.

True!

You don't look a day older that 80, Toby.

At 7:00 AM tomorrow I will be 57...

Only when I look in the Mirror Boss.

Happy birthday okie!! Enjoy your day!

Turned 72 ten days ago. Been retired almost 18 years, loved every minute. After I get the last three dead Green Ash trees cut down I'm going to take it easy for a while.

Dave

Come December eligible for SS..............

37. The last year both shoulders started hurting. Also noticed I've got to focus when doing work up close to my eyes. I can still see things fine I just have to concentrate doing it. I'm sure it will get better in the coming years though...

That's good work.

I'll be 52 on Tuesday.

I' suspect you must be related to the fella in the G. Fred Asbell Traditional wool clothing (that's the BEST stuff around for hunting!!!! I'd love to have green hooded one some day) advertisements - ya'll look *very* similar :

I'm 51 and feel more like 81.....

42. Act like 25 and feel like 60 some days. I've learned to work smarter over the last 10+ years. I feel 100 times better after getting away from a desk job.

I didn't think all you old fellers knew how to run the internet...

55

I usually tell kids that ask this, "I was born the last year, of the first half, of the last century."

I was 49 last Sunday,but a nice lady at church told me I looked much older. I was barely able to resist telling her the same.

44 next month

Speaking of age, the nice thing about dating high school girls is they never get older.

46

We're both 64 and livin' large!

Old enough to know how and still young enough to do it twice.

-------------

I tell the girls that I'm 70 and they say I look good for my age.

--------------

Haven't had my first heart attack yet.

--------------

Got enough hair on my azz to weave a Navajo blanket.

--------------

I'm old enough to not give a schit about almost everything.

--------------

I've bought things that will last me for the rest of my life and I think about new "things" that way.

--------------

I no longer seek my biggest fish or big game animal. I've already caught or killed it.

-------------

I no longer "feel" young.

-------------

I get the senior citizens discount in some establishments.

------------

On one of my birthdays I forgot how old I was.

-----------

I'm getting tired so that's all there is folks.

Is this the green hooded one that you like that I'm wearing?

i have a very free mind, i mingle with all ages so i would say 30

An interesting oddity is my father was born in the year that Orville and Wilbur flew the first airplane.

I was born in the year of the first rocket launch of a satellite, that went into space, and circumnavigated the Earth.

Is this the green hooded one that you like that I'm wearing?

[/quote]


If that's not Ron LaClair,he could be a twin.

43 and counting..

Will be 62 this year.

Finally got my "geezer" permanent hunting, trapping, fishing license last year. Was afraid the idiots in the legislature was gonna cut it out of the budget and save the state 500k. Figured that they figured us old geezers tend to vote frequently they did😀

62. Where did all that time go?

55

48
If I can make it to August

66.

54

71 in a few weeks.

74. not too many of my peers on here.

Is this the green hooded one that you like that I'm wearing?

[/quote]

I KNEW IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but do have a sorta photographic memory for people's faces.

Yes, those "shirts" in the photo that YOU are wearing with a hood are perfect!

I've looked those pages over and over a hundred times or more - those are the BEST hunting/camping coats/shirts/anoraks anywhere.

What a cool thing to be able to wear some of those awesome garments - especially for Fall hunting in Michigan (I'm well acquainted with the area - I miss October/November there).

I've looked into making one myself out of a US Army surplus wool blanket though i don't have sewing machine (and certainly not the skill necessary).

I'm hoping to get back into archery (traditional this time) once i find a new j-o-b (the college i work at is relocating/closing their campus).

But yeah, one day I'll save up enough pennies and get one of those shirts like you're wearing - nothing like 'em anywhere.

If that's not Ron LaClair,he could be a twin.[/quote]

Who's Ron LaClair?

I'll have to get my google-fu on and see what i can find out!!!

50 now, be 51 next month.

34, I'm a regular spring chicken compared to you old timers

Soon be 56

73

60 come Memorial Day.

62 here. Rodeo as a young man sure changes you as an older man!!

No doubt!

If I'd have known I was gonna live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself!

Brain thinks I'm still 20 . . . Body thinks I'm 110 . . . Guess that makes me 65, I will turn 66 the next to last day of 2017.

Who's Ron LaClair?

I'll have to get my google-fu on and see what i can find out!!![/quote]

Google Shrew Bows.

Born in the winter of '52...........

61

62

Bicentennial baby here...

Id Rank Ron LaClair up there with Howard Hill, as a Long Bow shooter! Rons a Great Fellow!

66 here but it's been a tough year. Tore both my meniscus, had surgery, before surgery discovered I had an abnormal EKG and wearing a heart moniter. Good news is the plumbing in my heart is good, bad news is the electrical sucks. See the heart dr again Tuesday so we'll see what she says. I was doing good till I found out I wasn't.

Thoughts there bud.

Damn CJ!

Prayers bud.

83

70 in October

68

60

Sorry to hear that Buddy! Hope you get some good news from the Heart Dr ! Prayers sent up from TX!

It's good to be old, cause it means you ain't died young.

If Jack Benny could be 39 forever, I guess I can as well?

23 two months ago, just a young buck.

51

61

my dad was born in 1924 and he was not past his middle 30's when I was born

48.

46 here. After 7 surgeries, my back feels better in my 40's than it ever did in my 20's.

70

58 and a half

63

47

Pearl Harbor was still burning when I was born; my mother's cousin sailed into Pearl Harbor 2 weeks after that attack and witnessed the smoke and devastation. He always reminded me of that on my birthday.

(75 & 5 months)

COOL!! Keep riding so fast that the grim reaper can't catch up!

I'm 62, and have a 6 year old boy.

Keeps me young and in shape.

80 and can't complain

72 and I don't complain either.

im a whopping' 33 years old. doing my best to beat the [bleep] out of my body working hard, so when I'm old like you fellers (grins) i can be a cantankerous old prick, and hunt and fish.

I'm 68 but I think my knees are in their late 80's!

63. Retired LEO and Iowa National Guard. I work at the local federal courthouse. 2 kids and 3 grand kids.
kwg

61 3/4

Ed

63 until midnight tonight.

Happy Birthday!

54 but with 2 grandkids that keep me young.

45

Turned 81 the 15th of this month. Decided to finally retire on June 30th of this year. That is until I find another job!


ROUNDUP

I remember when dirt was invented.

58 but feel 28..........lucky I guess.

Damn there is a lot of old farts here!!

Better to be old than dead, 47 in my high school graduation class. 10 are dead. 3 didn't make 30.

so old my greatest worry now is not being able to shoot up all the powder,primers and bullets Ive laid up.

60

37.

I'm really surprised how many old farts are on this forum. No offense....Lots of knowledge to be gained here.

42 with three kids to chase around(1,5 &9). Back was getting pretty thrashed from a half dozen car wrecks and 20+ years of tossing concrete wall forms around. Been better the last few years since I started doing DDP Yoga.

I'm 71, my knees are 1 1/2, and I have never felt better.
If there is something wrong with me I don't want to know.

Ken

Last I checked, I was in my 55th year. Which means I'm 54 years young.

I felt old, then I got older still.

NOT older than dirt - but, older than asphalt I remember when they first paved the state road outside my door -1960.
I out-ran a 400+ lb yearling to the corral fence, the other day - butt he gave me a "boost" - leaving a bruise! (Pun intended)
I'm just not as agile as I was before turning 64!

Early 50's

As a 70 year old friend of mine said, "Better to be seen than viewed." I have to agree.

53

87

Too old to give a [bleep] about much of anything! Of course it wasn't much different when I was young either...

Phil

64 years, 5 months, and 15 days, but who's counting.

Does that make it Jan 2 of 53? Am I figuring correctly?

Old enough to realize how great every day is.
