I no longer deer hunt as I've mentioned earlier. Arthritis in hands and shoulders, inability to tolerate loss of sleep and extremes of weather played a big part of my demise. But I let myself down easily. Even after I stopped hunting I still continued to go along and serve as photographer and camp cook. I had to give up shooting due to the arthritis.

But I still loved the atmosphere of deer camp and being out in the woods even though I no longer cared to hunt. It was a fun time and I just wasn't ready to give it up all at one time.

I have a lot of wonderful memories but I am okay that this part of my life is over.
