Default Of trophy bucks and old men

When I approach trophy deer hunting I use an old man as my basis for how he will act. Young men will have lots of energy and spunk. They waste more energy then they use constructively. As they age they learn to use their energy more wisely. Watch an old man at work. He will out work a young guy every time. How does he do it? He learns to become super efficient! An older carpenter will carry tools to the job site on his first trip in. he knows what he needs before he starts. As the day draws to a close he will not make a trip back to the work trailer with out a handful of tools that he won't need anymore. Effiecient, no wasted energy! This is how an old buck works. He knows his land. He knows his does. He knows the best places to hide where food, water, and security are near. He knows where the hunters go. He knows night is a safe time to travel. Study an old man and become a better trophy hunter.

I wonder if old bucks lose some of the 'desire'? That should wouldopen upalot of brain space.

I know that all the old bucks around here act just like old men. They are crotchity, grouchy, rocking chair types that sleep all day and are up all night (usually to pee). They eat dinner at 2, lunch at 8, and breakfast the night before. Their joints ache and they have a ton of hair virtually pouring from their ears. Their eyesight isn't very good anymore, but they make up for the lack of sight with a whole lot of skepticism and a general distaste for all that is not exactly like it was the day they were born.

But they don't need the little BLUE PILLS to get them going.

The difference being the "OLD BUCKS" you are refering to,are the bucks that are in the prime of their life. While the old carpenter is on the downslide. Just my way of looking at it.

I am a vintage 67'... Yeah-yeah-yeah...
I got the grey hair coming in on the sides to help me look distinguished, the little belley over the belt, my scope eye isn't 20 vision anymore, so on so forth...
BUT I can still kick the crap out of the 20 year olds on the raquetball court and climb a tree like a macaque!
