One of the things that gets me thinking about hunting and health was a pheasant hunting trip I went on three years ago. In 2003 I planned a pheasant hunting trip in Iowa. I invited a friend, then his brothers wanted to go, then another friend found out about the trip and he wanted to go too. Before I knew it there were eight of us. We all met at a little motel outside of Tama IA late Friday and went out hunting early on Saturday. After hunting all morning we stopped for lunch at which point five of the guys announced that they were exhausted and went back to the motel for a rest. The remaining three of us hunted till sunset. That evening we all headed for a steak dinner at Rubes Steakhouse in Montour IA. Before the meal even started one guy announced “I’m getting to old for this s---t!” The rest began chiming in that they too were getting too old. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I’d hunted the entire day and I felt invigorated, I felt great, the part that was unbelievable was that every guy there was at least 10 to 15 years younger than me. Go figure!
