I feel for you being that old and still working, but also respect it.  I'm 23 so I have nothing to complain about.  Now being in the military, more specifically the Infantry, it's a job that is really really hard on the body.  I'm 23 and already know what I have to look forward to when I'm 40 and 50 by looking at other guys my age in the same branch.  Still though, would never take anything for the experiences I've had and it's still not enough to complain about.

I'm 27 and hunt every chance I get... I work 80hours a pay period, and can't complain about a lot. I'm just ready to be back in shape from my injuries. Other than that, loving life and hoping to be able to get old. Props to you for doing and being who and how you are! Keep it up... My father-in-law always says, "when I stop moving and doing my bones are going to get stiff!" So keep on keepin' on!

I'm 23 with a 2 year old son and work roughly 50-60 hours a week and help take care of my dad since he had his stroke and became pearlized. Learned everything from him. He goes with me time to time when its cool outside. 57 years old paralizzed and he still tries it all. Props go out to generation before me for hanging in there and steering the young men the right way.

I'll be 70 this year and work or hunt dogs every day except Sunday.  Not as fast or strong as I once was but still get there and catch a lot of hogs.

Mr.Mason, I'd have to say I envy that very much, and hope that one day I will be able to say the same. Good luck to you in your health, life, and passion!

P.S. Thank you for helping pave the way, and keeping it "updated" for all us doggers.  Grin

I'm 58 and active.  Still work, navigating the tax code.  Trap hogs from Nov to May.  I run marathons.  Usually run 50 to 70 miles per week and ride about the same on a mountain bike and usually ride 50 miles on my road bike on the weekends.  Next marathon is Berlin in late Sept.

I am 68 and I still hint at least 1 time per week if I can find somebody to go. Really would like to hunt more. Had 5 bypasses and cancer surgery on the prostate. Also had knee surgery and foot surgery on both feet. Couple of hernia surgeries but so what---I am not complaining.

Will be hunting until the day they plant me. I fish quite a bit also. However, I just love hunting with dogs and training dogs.
