Us old gray beard bow hunters

[John Cholin]

I'm 69 and headed to Montana next week with my new 64# High Sierra recurve by Fox Archery and a pair of bionic knees.  Hair is gray and getting lighter.  Pretty soon I'll look like a whitetail's butt-end.  But that is an improvement over what I've been called so far.

I gotta remember about snow camo. I mostly hunt wearing Hawaiian shirts, so it will be a hard sell to my wife.

I started going gray when I was in the military at 20 years old. 46 years later, I have no physical problems, but getting old still sucks.

Late season last year forgot to take my glasses off, can't see my phone without them... but can still see to shoot without them.

54.  Can't think how bad the hands, shoulders, knees and back will hurt at that age.  But if it's exponentially worse I'll take the alternative.

62  white beard and some gray around the top edges. Good thing I don't have to walk for miles to get (try to get )coyotes.

Will hit the big 70 in a couple of months; yep all gray.  I blame raising two daughters for all the gray!

The unanswered question: how did this happen to us? But for the mirror, I would be 35!

Will turn 72 in November. Just got back from a bear hunt in Maine. Still got a full head of mostly dark hair. Beard is about half grey.
