I will be 78 in July, harder to bend over and can not carry a bundle of shingles up the ladder anymore, I can only do a half bundle.

I am 73 and fortunately still get around pretty good.....although noticeably a little slower than before and get stiff in places where I shouldn't.

Im 79 and counting. Can still do a lot of things, most just take longer. Got to work smarter. Was to the bush yesterday, cutting firewood. About a half cord is my limit. Have about 8 cord piled for next winter. Stormy days , I like to putter around in the shop. The yotes and fox must be mating, there were a lot of tracks around yesterday, Doing their thing on a nice sunny day. Keep active. old243

Mn man and I are twins. Product of the sixtys! First year in I don't know how long that I haven't caugh a hundred yotes or more. That don't bother me either! Hate getting old, but the alternative may be worse! Stay active is the key. The fiftys you start getting the aches and pains, The sixtys are worse and you lose upper body strength, and the seventys suck big time. Just can't wait for the eightys!

I am 63, my Dad died with a heart attack at 53 and I had one when I was 54. Great genetics there! Didn't damage my heart, had 95% blockage on the widowmaker, got a stint and been going strong ever since. Feel like I got a second chance, retired now and enjoying life and having fun.

Feb. 1st 1957 A salesman was headed in to call my dad and tell him his brand new 1957 chevy station wagon had came in. He heard a car coming faster than normal and seen it was dad hauling mom to the hospital to give birth. That was me.

So dad got his first boy child and a 1957 chevy the same day. Said many times he should have kept the car and traded the boy.

Just turned fifty, 5 years ago! Only one way off this great earth and until that day I will check up on T-man to see how my leaky boot, greasy shirt, aching back, long in the tooth, critter catching, partners in crime and sometimes verbose trapping buddies are getting along!

I'm 64-Holy crap MnMan THATS a fisher-of everything I miss my grip strength. Had to rope this beaver so I could carry it over my shoulder to the
truck along with this coon in the other hand. Then my shoulder was sore for 2 days-still love all of it!

Nice looking fisher

I'll celebrate the 27th anniversary of my 25th birthday in June.
About two weeks ago i carried four beaver out of a swamp a half mile away, through knee deep mud! .....then i woke up.....

I'm 77. I'm more or less recouping this last year with a bounced NAFA check and back surgery. I think I have it down as how to carry on. Just realize when to cut back as you know you are not as you once was. I'll still ride motorcycle and trap a few ditch rats. Just no NAFA anymore.

I'm 80 going on 100 well that's the way I feel every morning. I never thought Id say this but trapping just isn't any fun anymore. When I was 75 I was still pretty tough but these last 5 years have taken their toll.

Warmer climates are really suppose to help those joints and aches and pains.

You mean the Bahamas right.

The biggest inhibitor most will face is some form of arthritis . It can pop up anytime and it will change your life no matter how healthy you think you are. Just turned 50 about 19 years ago , jeesaloo the time has flown .My father in law is gonna be 99 but is now in assisted living or as I see it assisted suicide.

Lol

I'm 53, so you and pcr need to respect your elders.

Yep wrists,elbow joints,shoulders and hips.

Lets see a pace maker 2 bad knees 2 bad shoulders a leaky valve I think that about covers It.

Come one Bev, a season of rat trapping in the Dakotas will perk you right back up!
