i only hunt mature bucks do to lack of deer here in pa now,so its task to get buck now.
bear i stopped hunting but now you can use a recurve to hunt bear ,so i may hunt bear this year with my fred bear recurve from 1960.
as you get older your physical skills are not good. roght now as we talk my feet hurt like h.

i can say it was easy to hunt in 60s,70s here in pa.15 minutes i would have limit of grouse in ANY HOLLOW .you would very seldom see hunter.
now its reverse, few grouse and lots of hunters.......:confused0024:

at your age of 15,i would climb a tree without treestand just use limbs to go up 20 ft, now i see kids that need a climbing treestand, thats no fun.
i used to jump on deer backs at 15 and try to ride them from apple tree when the buck would go under it.

i could go on but my be boring to you ,take care sproul.....
