Is there a prize? From what I've read here, I'm the senior old man at 86

Age is just a number
People get to assuming that just because you’re old means you are unable. Period. I had a guy ask me if I could get up into a deer stand with a ladder when I was 63. I had just finished about 4 weeks on a ladder staining our house. Then another guy claimed that he was the oldest guy on bear camp and he was 57. I told him nice try but no panatella. I was 63. Kind of made him feel bad when I showed him my drivers license. So while 86 is getting up there and reasonable to assume the winner in the age derby, I wouldn’t
bet the farm on 86 being the oldest. There’s a lot of folks out there who are not vocal and just keep on keeping on. Good camping to all, fall camping, cooler days and nights and the brilliance of fall is right around the corner.

Hey hay
Me too. But glad I didn’t have to put this up in the barn like my dad and grandpa did in the 20’s 30’s 40’s and early 50’s. And no tractor, just a team of Belgians. Corn is starting to fire. It’s very dry here with only half the normal rainfall. Ears are small and light. Jakey got up a hen pheasant and 7 young ones on his birthday yesterday. August 15 is the legal date for running bird dogs on state ground. Of course this is private property but a good rule for everyone.

Maybe the prize for the oldest male but my friend (female) who bought her 2018 17b at the same time I bought mine is also 86. She and I just returned from a two month trip to the Oregon coast. She has no plans on turning in her keys anytime soon.
I am 76 and both of us have been RVing for almost 20:years—each with our own motorhome.

That would make your average age 41.5 years.

A moose came close to me (maybe 50 meters) when I was fishing in Alaska on the Kenai peninsula. That sucker was HUGE! I was watching for bears and here he comes. He didn't offer any trouble tho, just wandered off.

It had been quite a while since I heard that one. My Grandpa really liked Groucho. He would read the Czech newspaper after dinner and watch Groucho. My mom and my grandma in the kitchen speaking Czech so us kids couldn’t decipher the juicy conversation.

Usually the cheap stuff. They were subsistence farmers who grew their own tobacco, picked corn by hand and had a hook on the side of the wagon. As they walked the rows rabbits would become complacent to the slowly moving horses and man. Grandpa would wind up and thump a rabbit with an ear of corn, stun him and well you know the rest. Cooling, hung on the hook, looked like dinner. I was in the second grade I told my grandpa who was named Charles that we had four David’s in my class. He said he went to country school and there were seven Charlie’s in his one room school class. My mom taught school in a one room schoolhouse before the War. The neighbor across the road brought his 8 year old boy in and say he was starting school and did not speak English, just Czech. He said if my mom would give him a spare key, the boy would come in early and start a fire in the stove so it would be comfortable for everyone when school started. Things might have changed some now?
The boy became a family friend and was about 11 years younger than my mom. I talked to him many times as I hunted out that way. He always told me how my mom taught him to read, write and speak English. Deep roots.
