Are you saying Shultzy OLD in different words (ha-ha)
Easy Ed!!

How old are you Ed??[8D]

Great avatar by the way!! One of the best!!
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!


I wouldn't put it pass ya!! I just had to poke some fun back at you!!

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 agree, my dad is old (to me at least ) and he can still get more done in a day then i could even dream of. Someday i wish i could be like him.





BUT, being young and dumb does have its perks

Magic, this couldn't be more accurate. When I started doing tree work, the old guy (foreman) would always tell me not to go to the truck empty handed. He also told me I work too hard. He'd say work smart, not hard.
The wise old buck does EVERYTHING for a good reason! One last thing. How come you don't see young bucks doing this?
