I'll be 50 in about a month and today I learned something about growing older that I thought I would pass on to younger hunters. Don't eat a lot of fried foods, fried okra, corn on the cob and drink whiskey the night before a hunt.
Those bubble guts will test your grip early in the hunt! It was never a problem in my 20-40s but dang did it get my attention today.
No I didn't shat myself, but I was shaking starting at 730 today. That duck walk to try to get away from the stand had me sweating. Had to stop ever 10-15 yards to catch my breath and make sure my grip wasn't slipping. One more min in the stand would have been too long.
Anyone have any advice for those of us who used to make fun of people like this? I now take it all back!
