Christmas is coming, so you’d better make sure there is an “Old Fart Action Figure” t shirt in his stocking. Props to him.

That is awesome! So good to see the young guys getting it done!

I'll bet he has some real cool hunting stories to tell. Gents his age learned to do it the hard way, and do it better then a good many today with our modern means.

Let's hope he has a lot more years of good hunting ahead.
