The last time I hunted with Brad, I was 59, him 61. I shot a bull calf moose, and after gutting it and cutting it in half, we only had to load the 1/2's - bloody near put us both in the Hospital. Bad backs & knees on both of us.
I do not buy moose tags any more. The days of packing 165 pound quarters over our shoulders are long gone. Putting 2 moose down, then Taylor and I spending 2 days to pack them out - not going to happen any more.
One of these coming fall days I might go hunting again - maybe next year. I haven't hunting big game since Brad passed 4 years ago.
