    well said 6;45-9:00. Im 52 and applied with my son (23) for WY Gen tag in 2021. I HOPE we can pull these tags and go hunt this year with my son. Time is limited, and we only have so many opportunities. Randy, you don't need to do anything special to entertain us when the hunt action is slow.....just do what you do. Your camera presence outlook towards things is why I (and im sure many others) watch.

    Randy, I will be 72 just before my next door neighbor and I head to Colorado, then 2 weeks later for WV whitetails. I am going to keep going as long as the good Lord grants me good health. In the meantime I will workout, watch my diet and enjoy my time in the outdoors. Keep up the good work.

    Good to see you out by yourself Randy. I’ve always wondered how much guys like you (i.e. hunting show personalities) cherish that time alone without a crew tagging along. As much as I am a “people person” and as much as I love hunting with my family and friends I’m always happy to spend a couple of days in the woods alone. It must be especially cathartic for you.

    Im 64 had knee surgery several years ago and the doc said i was looking at a replacement in a few years....fast forward to today. I have saved my walking miles for hunting and still have both original knees. my hunting style has changed but with being retired i now have a camper and get to spend many more days hunting. I have now started looking into other states because of watching your videos. You are right good health is a gift and i am thankful each day i can get out and practice making the choices like you talk about here.

  • @scott729
    @scott729 3 года назад

    Quick story, but first ... Randy - One of the reasons I really appreciate you is that you always have some words of wisdom that can apply to anyone, not just us hunters. I rarely if ever disagree with you.
    I turned 53 on 1/26/21. I was a D1 wrestler going into college, by the time I was a sophomore I found out I have a clotting disorder that I inherited from my dear mother. My teammate and I were training together to compete in the Olympic trials. While cutting weight I developed a pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis in my rt. leg which ended my wrestling career. I am only telling this part because I had a lot of promise and back in those days I without doubt took my health for granted. I thought I would always be strong, agile and quick witted. I later learned the truth.
    I was able to stay in reasonably good shape up until recently, but still managed to have two pulmonary saddle clots that nearly took my life at 38 and 39. The last time I hit the mountains was in 2015, I could tell something wasn't quite right so I took it easy and kept nitro in my front pocket which I used a lot during my hike in on opening day. We hiked about a mile and it was all down hill. One of those deals where you see fisherman jump in the boat and fly across the lake and catches a few all the while another fisherman sits on the boat ramp and catches his limit. It is literally like that where we hunt. Plenty of elk within a mile of the trailhead.
    Even though it was a downhill walk I still required a lot of breaks and several tablets of nitro. We ended up packing out one cow and I only allowed myself to carry the backstrap, loins and neck/ ground cuts. I was always one who was willing to throw a hind quarter and maybe more on my back, but I knew better this time. This was in October (Co 1sr rifle) and come January I was having Coronary Bypass Surgery x3 and was only 48 years old. Oddly enough, where the trail comes out of the "canyon" there is a steep climb the last 100 yards that has been coined heart attack hill. I went out of the way to avoid it.
    Still, all is good at this point, I mean I had managed to escape an early end to my life 4 times before I turned 50 and still felt pretty good. I have to say that in the next five years my physical health turned south rapidly. I am (still) losing muscle and strength like it is intentional. I was on the cusp of hiring a trainer and joining the gym when Covid emerged. I still intend to do so, but I am going to have to wait because this disease and Covid are not a good combination.
    Given all of this, my biggest fear is not death. My biggest fear is that my health will deteriorate more than I can overcome, and that I will never get to visit the mountains and do what I love to do again. As you know, a life that never lives is dead.
    So yes, value your health while you have it. Time marches on at a steady-reliable pace. We have to make the most of every minute we have and when we are healthy enough to take on these adventures we need to be thankful that our health allows for it and not take it for granted. Again, you are inspirational to me and I really enjoy the enthusiastic nature that you compete with, and sharing the supple life lessons you trickle in along the way. My apologies for the long comment.

    I always enjoy and appreciate your selfless attitude. Helping someone else succeed is more gratifying. ‘‘Tis better to give than receive as the saying goes.
    I just hope that bill in Montana doesn’t pass and have 60% of the nonresident tags go to an outfitter pool. I know that you have said that MT has invented more ways to lay the pipe to nonresidents than practically any other state and that bill would take the cake. I just bought my first NR big game combo point and standard pronghorn and archery 🏹 only pronghorn bonus point in MT. I couldn’t imagine how much this would affect those with five to max points.

    I turned 56 last October. The closure of gyms has not done me any favors. On September 23rd, a young friend of mine put an arrow in a bull. I helped him, the next day it out. The terrain was not terrible. I have hunted steeper and deeper. Packing out elk is tough work period. My motivation to get back into shape now that we are able to get back to the gym is get fit enough and strong enough to pack an elk out of the woods. Thank you for the stories that you share, the wisdom that you spread. I have an elk bust on the back of my weight belt. It reminds me every morning why i am doing what i am doing. The best part of all, i have two boys who hunt. Even if i am never able meet my goal of packing out my own elk, i know that what i am doing will keep me around longer and more able to be in the woods longer with them and with my hunting friends. Maybe some young kid will have to help me pack out my whitetail in a river bottom after he helps me find my tag!

I see no reason not to keep going at 72. Yes I have had to make compromises, notI can't go everywhere I used to go and yes I need more help. But I am still hunting.

    I have hunted elk on the front range of southern Colorado all my hunting life. The wind is always a factor. The animals don't like it and are particularly jumpy when it is to windy. Between the noise and the circulation it really messes with their senses. It can be a good time to hunt though because you don't have to worry so much about noise you make and your scent doesn't linger anywhere. This year I led my friend to a nice young bull from the upwind side when the wind was blowing at least as hard as in this video. We were above the elk and none of them knew we were there because our scent, I assume, traveled over them like a rocket.

Basically forcing 60% of non-resident hunters a to pay for guide services. Can you speak to this effort or possibly do a video about it? From what I've heard it sure sounds like a bad deal to me.

      @@joeetlinger3423 Mt fish and game publishes a booklet detailing each block (there are hundreds thruout the state) each block can have its own special details but for the most part the landowner will ask for limits on number of hunters per day or the size of a group and always detail of where you cannot drive while on the property, walking is rarely limited. there is a log book that the hunters sign and this is used when the land owners final compensation is figured out. This is an over simple explanation and you can go to the state web site for fish and game to get the info from the source.

    Jeez, are we sure that's Bart's son? Might want to do a test on that. I'm not insinuating infidelity, I'm saying he might be an illegal clone. But we can clone bart, that's okay.
