My group of 12 hunters and I'm the youngest at 57. Oldest is in his 80's. We are a dying breed.
The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"
Parents just should not outlive their children. I wish we could make it a universal rule!Lost my hunting partner 3 years ago .....
Watched him grow and mature into a fine ethical hunter .... fun to be with, twinkle in his eye, gave 110% ....
He was teaching me a thing or two ...
Left too early.
He was my son ...... missing him.
Lost a good buddy to a combination of ailments in March. He was a shitty hunter but still loved to get out there. I'm glad I was along on his last trip in October 2016 when we went to Region 8 and he filled his LEH antlerless tag.
He was more into the the tents, the boots, the binoculars the knives, the pants, and my God! The guns! He loved nice hunting rifles so much he'd buy one every time he went into a store. He had so many he swamped our other two hunting buddies and me with the ones overflowing out of his lockers.. Every time I go hunting I'm carrying one of the rifles he gave me so I think of him every trip.
I lost my grandfather about 5 years ago. He and my other grandad started me in the obsession. I still hunt with his husky 30.06 and think of him often when I'm out there....

I've lost many hunting partners to marriage.
If it wasn't for family, I'd always be hunting alone.

My condolences to the hunters here who have lost their partners, family members and friends. At the end we really only have the legacy of our time spent with others and how they remember us.
A person doing what they have to do to remember there partners is a must does not matter how a person does it you do what you think is right..
Hunting Elk Is All About Finding Them ,If You Can't Find Them Keep Trying ..
