Thinking Ahead

[philpot 5,067]

When I get older, losing my hair, when I'm 64.........................and so the song goes but as I have already passed that landmark, you sometimes think well it is going to be very boring not being able to get out with the gun or the rods as age creeps upon me and the knees give up the ghost even more....................until I saw this.

I asked one farmer if there was another way to the top of a hill its a 1000 ft high he said aye but you have to go across somebody elses ground so im thinking quad bike no one of them i dont think it would make it

Found myself looking at Polaris off roaders at the Ashby show ,trouble is dont have a helicopter to airdrop it where i shoot as you,d never get it through the plantation without the farmer getting a bit cross .Shame really as im training to be lazy

You are a tryer Dave, I will grant yo that......................

 

I would have a trip to one of the ex army sales places that are dotted around the UK and see if I could find a small ARGO cat or similar only trouble is I then need a 4x4 with trailer to get it there.............................................hmmm thinking cap on for the future.

It's not worth thinking about mate - just crack on with it and be happy.

 

My mates grandad loved golf. He was well into in his 80s and fit as a fiddle when he collapsed on the golf course one sunny afternoon.

The doctor said he would have been dead before he hit the deck.

 

I'd like to go like that

 

Besides, 60 is nothing nowadays - my dad is 60 and I'd still think twice before squaring up to him

[David.evans 5,323]

The moral of the story Jon , don't cheak your elders, you young whipasnaper! lol not to old for a slap as my dad would say and I'm fookin 63

age is a funny old thing, i worked the doors for a lot of years and you dont see many old doormen ,because of what the job entails ,but when i was in my 30s i worked with a head doorman 2 times my age just before he retired ,i sadi how can you still do it at your age he said inmy mind im still 16 its just my body and reflexes are a lot slower,great bloke i learned a lot from him

[The one 8,547]

Im a bit younger than you no much but a bit and five years ago i got my left ankle debribed ( cleaned out ) and it took me a year to get back into the fields they reckon ive another five years then they will pin it and i wont be able to flex it and im dreading it as i dont want to loose another year getting mobile , Then i year ago i took a tumble and landed on my left knee and it still goes up like a balloon when i use it but come September i will be out ferreting my pups a year old and she will get me out there i might need one of the wee buggies for going to asda or tesco but i will get into the field under my own steam and maybe a hot bath and a few voddys at close of play will help but im no thinking about stopping till im 70

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Dad in law is 90 ,still drives ,still shoots his Gamo .22 rifle and Tempest .22 pistol ,likes a pint and can eat like a trencherman ,your only as old as the woman you feel just dont get caught

[philpot 5,067]

When roving across the fields becomes too much, not anytime soon, I will stick to my clay shooting and bench rest shooting.

 

If that is not possible, I will find something else, I am that sort of person.

 

My long time clay shooting friend is 84 and is out shooting every week. My grandfather was still a keeper at 75 and the oldest active member of the clay club I am a member of is 89.

 

If they can do it....................well you can bet I will be doing my best to do the same.
