87 years old this deer season and shot a 6 pointer. Not bad! Hope I can still do it at that age.

it doesnt matter how big the deer, but its good he is still out there doing something he enjoys. many at that age sit in a chair and wait to die.

Nice report.

I get so bored sitting in a blind. At 87, if I am still alive, I would be napping most of the time but

Nice report.

I get so bored sitting in a blind. At 87, if I am still alive, I would be napping most of the time but Can't argue with that! When the woods quiet down with no birds active, no squirrels or crows, that means nap time. At least short power naps. 85 in January for me.

Give him a pat on the back for me. I hope he gets many more seasons to brag about. God bless the both of you.

I can remember Dad a few years before he passed getting ready for deer season. I told him if he got one to call and Id help him get it up, Here that would mean bringing the font end loader to him and getting it out of the woods. He laughed and said If I shoot one we have to clean it and butcher, If I watch it I just have the memory and no more work. LOL. Dad passed last year at 87

That's the truth! I see a lot of that as a plumber. A lot, but not all!

As a matter of fact one of his grandsons was sitting in the blind with him.

Somebody at that age shooting a deer I consider it a 30 Pointer! That’s awesome, if you turn those numbers around that’s my dad‘s age and my property is hilly. He couldn’t even make it to the stand I made him this year. He popped his knee out a few months ago so he said it was too sore to walk. He stood halfway in between it with his Ruger vaquero ready for villains.lol
