The Reaper has been standing over your shoulder all along… you’re only now starting to feel his breath. You’re realizing your mortality. Psychologists will tell you it’s a natural part of aging, so don’t sweat it.

In the meantime, those “shortcuts” and “second thoughts” are all part of growing wiser. You don’t HAVE to chase that elk for 20 miles, especially if there’s a good chance there’s another one in the next canyon. And you know too, if you don’t kill that big bull, nobody’s gonna starve…. tends to reduce the motivation a little.

yep, that is another thing I’m working on – I’ve started walking again, it isn’t much – but it’s a start!

I am on the same quest as you Tom, I have been trying to get in shape for the upcoming hunting season as well. It is hard work, but I know that if I have more energy I will be a better hunter.

Reading this post made me realize that I hunt differently now as well. I take shortcuts and I think about consequences before I hike somewhere. It really messes up the hunter’s instinct to not go where you feel you should, because you don’t want to hike up a certain hill. I am 26 and I agree, I am way too young to be out of shape and slowing down.

Here is to us getting in shape and enjoying the prime of our lives Tom!

I’m with Hunter’s Wife. I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago, and then marriage came and a bunch of it came back.

I think I’m with ou though. It is time for change.

I use to be in really good shape. I played softball and volleyball for years. As we age some of our priorities change and exercise sometimes ends up being last on our list. Then you realize there’s just no time in the day. I guess that’s my excuse.
