[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1809955, member: 42731"] Just not feeling it anymore? I guess I'm glad for you in a way. After we sold out the one place my grandad lived on we thought hunting and fishing full time would be enough to keep him going, guess it wasn't because he made it about 6 years and only 5 on his feet. You don't look very old in your photos but I guess I'd figure you at 65-70. Some folks can come up with enough fun stuff to do in order to keep moving all the time and stay forked-end down and some can't. After he retired from large livestock, my grandfather was only seen to move real fast again one time. He was sitting on the porch with a coffee and a cigar and a pair of loose pitbulls started raiding my sister's chicken coops and rabbit hutches. To hear the description from the neighbor that has line of sight on the property: "He moved faster than I'd ever seen him move, he was in the house and back out with a shotgun in seconds. He hobbled down the hill, and he killed the first dog. By the time that one was on the ground he'd swung on the next one and killed it, laid it out flat dead" He then told the neighbors (who had come to the commotion) that my sister would be getting off of the bus soon and she shouldn't have to see this, so by himself he at 74 yoinked up these two pitbulls, bagged them in contractor bags and stuffed them in a county can at the end of the drive and was back on the porch with a coffee and cigar when she got off the bus. You'd have loved the old man, Caustic, ran a Model 12 with a US stamp that would always throw 1 1BK at 100 yards into a pie tin and would keep most on the plate at 50. Ran dogs on deer, rabbits, squirrels and coon and brought me up doing the same. He killed somewhere between 300-500 deer in his life, around 150-250 turkeys, and he lived like an absolute king unherded by nobody and by his own rules. [/QUOTE]
