Thats funny about Dad, Ky Jon DDS. Sounds like hes quite a man. In terms of when to hang it up, I just turned 60 and this year I had a bit more trouble maneuvering through the Grouse woods than times past. Im not ready to hang it up, but Im finding trails are all the more enticing. I always hunted some trails, but not as much as humping the bush. I guess this is writings on the wall, but .....just keep going, stay active, exercise.....the only fountain of youth we really have.

Thanks for sharing the 16ga Wyoming Chukar
link.
At 71, I can admit my mountain hunting days are in the past, but prairie long walks for Sharptails and Huns are still on the menu.

I'm not much on that "lit" business. I won't be when I'm 93 either. End of story.

No problem, just hunt with those who need getting shot.

Old Harold the Chinese guy at the range (RIP) was shooting a nice 20g M21 on the skeet fields with his O2 backpack for the last year. He would shoot and stumble back a step or so. Anyone that shot with him would stand behind him and steady him. I once told him not to worry, I'd catch that beautiful 21 before it hit the ground. He replied, and I quote: "Thanks a lot!". grin Everone helped him, near the last part of his shooting days, we carried a chair around the skeet field for him.

Sounds to me like your dog does, picking up as many crips as he does. Do you actually get to shoot?

Take care, SRH
