[QUOTE="campcook, post: 61784, member: 1196"] I'm happy to say I'm 72, still hunting and can say my best memories involve youngsters. This year I got to return the opportunity to a young Dr (only 50) currently residing in Minnesota. I was welcome and eventually made part of the family on his parents ranch north of Carson many years ago. He started to tag along with me when he was 14. This year he shot a beautiful 5x4, his first with a bow. Now I look forward to a great niece. She is only 10 but has a gene passed from her uncle. There are no other "Wildmen" in her life. She has a bow which she practices with daily and enjoys the trail cam pictures and venison sticks and jerky I send her every year. Her time will come. Yes, I will fly her out here. Yes, I will teach her ethical outdoor behavior. I am an uncle, it's my job. My only regret is that time and nature may take its toll and I won't get to witness my own grandkids evolution into the way of life I covet. However, I trust those I have mentored will carry on the tradition. [/QUOTE]
