OLD BUCKS, YOUNG BUCKS, IN-BETWEEN BUCKS - How Old Are You?

BOB VANDRISH · Post by **BOB VANDRISH** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 7:37 am

It looks like I am the oldest so far!
Born in 36,and just crossed that big "70"!
I have been doing more deer hunting in the past two years,with zero success,than ever before!
I have hunted since I was 17,so that gives me 53 years at the sport!
The hills are getting taller,and that back pack and bow or gun slung over the shoulder are also getting heavier too!
Last resort will more than likely be a disability permit to hunt from a vehicle,as I will never give up the enjoyment of hunting.
Bob.

I was getting into bars before I was of age... Never once asked for I.D. Now that I'm of age, they ask me for I.D. funny how that works eh

Anyways I guess I'm the young buck around here. I'm only 19.

I can't remember when I started hunting. Around 13 or 14.

62,can remember trying to hunt cottontails with longbow when I was9 yrs.oldbut started using 22 when I was 10 raised on a farm so you could hunt and shoot everyday but sun.rabbits.squirrel,wood chucks,pheasants, deer were scarse, and no open season.

I'm an exotic 1952 model, and I'm improving with age. The older I get, the happier I become. Can't wait for my 100th birthday, I should be ecstatic by then.

I'm 44 . . .started hunting as soon as my Grandad would allow me to carry a gun(I think I was 12). On the farm, Grandad didn't believe in the hunting seasons too much. He thought all the animals on his land were his. He raised them, he could eat them whenever he wanted. That evolved . . .but, there for a while, it was just like bait pile willie noted . . .hunting was everyday except Sunday.
