I'm 78 and just recovered from esophagus cancer and then had brain surgery and radiation treatments. I can't walk without the use of a walker and I haven't used a gun since last August. Annie is 15 years old and will be my last dog. I have given two 20 GA BSS's to my son and 0ne to my daughter. IF I'm able I will continue to use my 28Ga 2 barrel set Parker and my all time favorite 16 GA #2 AyA loaded with RMC brass hulls.

Welcome back. Sounds like you've had a real tough year, but have a plan for dealing with your limitations. I'm 77 and every time I read of someone dealing with these aging issues I find myself listening for the footsteps of old age creeping up behind me. I've always admired your approach to your passions, and now find myself admiring the way you're dealing with adversity. Best wishes on regaining as much of your previous life as possible.

Welcome back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you have a positive spirit , GOOD
I turned 70 today and do understand the creeping effects of aging
I find myself reaching out for a steadying limb more than often
while I am outside the duck blind.

Glad to see you back! Keep a positive outlook and do all you can.

I am looking 70 hard in the face and have found some of the limits of older age already.

Always liked the pics of your #2!
