The above post reminds of my own words in regard to my father when I was 29! At age 73, I understand a lot of things I didn't understand WAY BACK THEN! ................ ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

fairgame: YOU set your sights a little lower. This Sixty Year Old Bugger is not quite ready to just yet.* I am hunting Africa with Double Rifles now, Amarula or Gin & Tonic of an evening and good Cuban Cigars courtesy of Reon von Tonden and African Barefoot Safaris as long as the knees hold out. regards, Rich DRSS * in jest, but barely | |||

I am 54. For the better part of the last 40 years I have ran. I estimate that I have run 125,000 miles in my life. While a competitive runner in college, I am now just another old man trying to stay fit. For the last 10 or so years, I have lifted weight 3 times a week with a trainer. I have done my best to hold back the sands of time. A hell of a lot more than most. To a certain extent, I have. I can out walk just about anyone under any condition. I was just on a ibex hunt that was described as the guides most difficult EVER. I did it. Two days ago, I was told that I need a joint replaced in my foot. I will bet this wouldn't have happened at 35. Two and a half years ago, I had to have serious shoulder surgery. Again,time caught up with me. I have done a hell of a lot more than most. I have paid the price. I guess it is better to have my heart in shape than these joints that ale me. I ain't giving up though. I am off to run 5 miles before I head to Brazil today for a wedding. | |||

At 67 I've had open heart surgery. Bad knees, synthetic eye lenses. Also various parts removed or replaced. Diabetic but doing good. I can't see why I should'nt hunt anymore. So I do. | |||
