As you get older you have to think about when it's time to quit and I decide I'll quit when I can hunt the way I want. I drive my wife crazy before current season ends I'm planning next year's hunt.

I tried light rifle few years ago and really didn't like it not enough that I want to make a change. I like to my hunting rifles 9 to 9.5 lbs.

At 72 my time coming and I'm not going to make any changes and I'm still able to walk in and pack out.
