68 now pulled the plug at 62 and not looked back.

Took a RR pension in 2012. Far from retired though.Still trap,do fur work,and nuisance trapping. Do it all on MY schedule now-that is the beauty of it.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Retired from Alaska in 2008 at age 53. Been doing contract wolfing (mostly catch-and-release collaring) on my schedule ever since in various places in the world (Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska, Mongolia). Hopefully, I pulled the pin on that gig after last summer. Looking forward to down-sizing my contracting work, and spending more time catfishing, fur trapping, and snake wrangling before I take the big dirt nap.

I’m 55 with a little over 33 years at my job. Absolutely hate what I do. I’m fully vested and as soon as I can find something else to do I’m going to get out of this crap hole. I’ll either try to find a couple of part time gigs or a decent full time job.
I'm itchin' to see a coyote twitchin'.
More trappin' and less yappin'.

Good grief! Nearly everyone on Tman is OLD! Trappers are a dying breed.
I'll be retired in July 2022. I'll be 57.
