For the last 11 years I've hunted on my own land, bought it in the mid 70's to hunt when I got older and so that I wouldn't get built in by homes. Previous 40some years I hunted those unforgiving mountains, where you should have one leg shorter than the other.

Ido all my hunting on my 13 acres, but own an additional 50 some acres with my brother-in-law, most of that is fields and it's rented to a farmer, but the huntable part is connected to my own land.

I have three tripod stands on my land, one is only around 75 yards behind the house, this one I use mostly for watching the deer during the Summer and into the Fall. Nextstand is about 125 yards and theother is a little over 200 yards, this is the one along the creek where most of the deer are taken. I haven't hunted the 200 yard stand in the last five years on the first day, this is the most productive stand and I give it to a guest. At 66 years old I'm not ashamed to not walk a mile or more to hunt.

That is funny. I remember driving the ridges and thinking I should just put a kneepad on one side and hobble along.

Last year was my first year at the show, but I can't wait for this year. I enjoy seeing all of the new products.

Would love to go, but I probably won't this year. I'm already spending my wad of "hunting" cash for the month on arrows and stuff.
