RE: How should we handle this?
I am 66 and when I hunt on my son's property , I use whatever stand he suggests or hunt adjacent property . Even though I have helped him with the food plots , clearing stuff and building a cabin , I respect his deer hunting knowledge . He does a lot of reading , utilizes scent control , wind , temperature , barometric pressure , etc .. I home to be hunting for another 10 years at least .
Back in the 60's , I used to smoke and had doe come within 5 yards of my ground location and not run . We couldn't shoot doe back then either . Anyway , the deer have become smarter and have adapted . We need to do the same with our hunting techniques .
Like someone said above , hunt upwind of your grandfather .........It may work to your advantage !
