Well said Buck and glad to see you back at it. I'm only 47 and pretty much have given up hunting from trees as well. I spend most of my hunting time on the ground unless a stand is necessary in my area. My dad can't pull his bow back anymore - he turned 70 - but we can't convince him to use a crossbow at all even though they are legal in PA and NJ. He mainly comes out for walks with us instead.
