skycat 6,174 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 You can be as physically fit as possible, but sooner or later the chassis starts wearing out. In Victorian times you were lucky to reach 40! Have a look at these stats: http://www.straights...victorian-times So it's no wonder that those over 50 these days suffer from an assortment of problems, many of which are due to working too hard physically, though more and more come from not doing anything at all! At least I know I've worked hard and played hard, and more to the point, hunted hard, to get into the state I'm in now:: no pain, no gain and all that Was it worth it? You betcha! The hunting and playing bit at any rate. i can see a new book coming on.................. What? How to keep going when all you want to do is lie down and go to sleep? How about The Hunter's Guide to Hanging in there when you're old and past it! :tongue2: A lot of the 'older' Airedale guys I talk to on the Airedale forum in the USA go about on mule or horse when they are hunting: makes a lot of sense if you want to keep up with your dogs. Just a shame I don't live in the type of country where horse access is viable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
