People who do crossfit are like vegetarians and atheists. The practitioners will always bring it up in every conversation that they possibly can.

I guess that is a matter of perspective. I find AR a wealth of information, whether it be fitness, guns, soft buffalo, immature lions, etc. I find Muletrain's post motivating, and I find Bud Meadow's post great as well, since he now finds hunting much easier now that he has lost weight. If that motivates someone get off the couch and hunt more, that is great. I mean, what harm is there in promoting fitness? Does that fat slob posing with the lion help us or hurt us? Posts like Muletrain's are illustrative in that you can be in great shape after age 60. Even posts about Crossfit are beneficial; the positive PR it gets makes me think more about doing it. As for flying skills, I recall a trip to Houston. I have a buddy who is an astronaut (was on ISS when the Columbia disintegrated). He gave some of us a private tour of JSC a few years ago. On that tour we met a Naval aviator who had been up in the shuttle once and one of my friends asked this guy if going up in the shuttle was scary. He replied, "Not as scary as the 138 night landings I made on a carrier." So Jorge, stud points to you. | |||

Care is good in a dangerous activity. I am sure you never get on a climber without a safety belt. I look at tree climbers as being similar to motorcycles. Over time and use one will have a close call. In motorcycles the data is clear - older one gets the more likely the fall accident injury causes greater injury. http://www.iii.org/issue-updat...n-motorcycle-crashes The issue with climbing tree stands and age for me is not that age greatly impares ability. It's when bad stuff happens - falls/accidents - the older one is the worse the injury. Everything in life is a trade off. I just don't see a great risk reward with climbing tree stands or motorcycles and age. The packaged dg buff hunt in Africa is a different thing. Mike | |||

Arizona - At around age 55 guys I know or worked with started dying. Every time I went to a funeral it was like a wake up call. One day I just made up my mind to start living life to the fullest and making the most of whatever time I had left on this planet. At that time I was fat as fuck. And I was fat because of eating ice cream, cookies, snack crackers, and other snack foods at night after work while watching tv. Got rid of the snacks and the tv and bought a set of hand weights. It took about a year to get down to 160 and gradually all of the symptoms that my doctor told me were normal for an old man disappeared. It turns out that they were not normal symptoms for an old man but for a fat old man. Back pain, knee pain, neck pain, migraines, acid reflux, insomnia, heart palpations, general grumpyness, depression. All gone. I really started feeling good. Got a gym membership and started using a barbell. Gained 15 pounds of muscle. Joined a social road bike club and started biking. I thought my running days were long gone but discovered I could run again. So I alternated running and biking. Then my sister challenged me to a triathlon. I figured I would do one just so she would quit hazing me about it. We both took second place in our age group and I had so much fun doing it that I just kept it up. Life has just been so much more enjoyable after geting healthy. But the one down side to all this is summed up in a quote from Redd Fox. "Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing."

Great post, thanks. I find it interesting that in a thread called "Hunters Physical Shape" that there are some calling out the "Hunters that are in shape." I really couldn't care any less how miserable they are flying in small seats, sleeping in small, hard uncomfortable beds or whatever. I am comfortable with me. Formerly "Nganga" | |||

I have exercised most of my life, more than most. In 2006, I had an injury and was sent to physical therapy. Now that was an eye-opening experience. I spoke with the young lady who was working with me one day. I observed the average age of the people getting help was about 70. She agreed. I observed that most were very weak and/or could hardly move. I asked the reason. Were they injured? Has they never exercised and gotten past the point of no return? She said most had never exercised a day in their life until things had gotten so bad that they would pay for it the rest of their lives. That has stuck with me. If you had seen these people, you would be very motivated to never let this happen to you. These people live in misery. | |||

One of the reasons I decided to get in better shape back in 2015 was my wife. In 2012, she announced that she was going to train for a Triathlon. This from a woman who has never competed in athletics at ANY level, and is over 60 years old. I think a major reason she did this is because of our three grandchildren who are all phenomenal multiple sport athletes. Our granddaughter Maddie is the top athlete in her school in three sports: basketball, volleyball and Cross Country. Her younger brothers are the top athletes in their respective grades in FOUR sports: basketball, baseball, football and Cross Country. I think she wanted to show them what their Grandma could do. She went on to complete Triathlons in 2012, 2013 and 2015. She finally had to quit triathlons this year because of hip replacement surgery. The grandkids were suitably impressed with her performance.
