I'm 63, 6' and 200#... As I sit here nursing my thumb with 5 stitches, I have compound fractured my leg, broken 6 transverse process bones in my lower back, broken elbow, broke both big toes, ankle, nose 3 times, cheekbone, ribs, and hand... I think that's it, I have a really good memory, but it's not very long. I haven't been easy on myself. I guided elk hunts for 20 years ( my vacation ), worked in the oil & gas industry for 38 years, cowboy for hire and I'm a sorry team roper! I am an avid coyote hunter as well. What I've noticed the last few years is I'm not as agile as I used to be, aches and pains last longer, it's harder to stay in shape, and the weight is harder to maintain. I'm not cordninuff nated to ride rough horses anymore....!

56 years old and still kicking ***. 5'-10" 185lb. I ride an exercise bike every other day for an hour and I only take vitamins and have perfect blood pressure. I whole heartedly attribute it to the 40+ years of chasing deer in the back country. Still able to solo hunt and pack out entire boned out mature mule deer 7 miles in. It all about mental toughness when you mountain hunt. Just do it... one step at a time...

I am 48. 5'7" 155#. I have a very active job, and live quite an active life as well.
I will out hike my 31 year old son-in-law, 27 year old daughter, and 16 year old daughter (who is very active as well) all day long. I will outpack and out hike my brother and cousin who are 1 year older than me. I will out work guys 15 years younger than me.
But, it is starting to take its toll. Not as durable as I used to be.

24years old, 5"8 and 175lbs. My job isnt a very labor intensive(farm supervisor for the second biggest organic egg producer in the U.S.) but I stay active during the summer. Winter time can put a hamper on my actuveness but I try to do what I can. Very avid dirtbike rider. Mostly enduro riding, but I do ride some track. Hard dirtbike riding will make you feel muscles you didnt know you had. I have a wife and 2 young children so I don't get out and do as much as I like.

About out hiking the youngsters... Me and my partner have a saying...." They don't make em like they used too..."
I feel right at home here! LOL I'm 37, 5' 8" and 150# but move like I'm 70 and 250#. Too many years working 15-16 hour days and too many "minor" injuries that got ignored for too long have taken their toll. Working with a broken ankle and fractured elbow was a bad idea. So was ignoring all the little aches and pains thinking that I could just "work them out". I probably should have taken those last 5 concussions a little more serious too, I could swear that my shooting gets a little worse after each one!
My body won't let me do much back country or high elevation hunting any more but I can still cover 8-10 miles a day when hunting here in Western WA without much trouble. I hike 3 miles in the woods every day with my dog and typically carry an Eberlestock pack with my rifle stuffed in there just for a little weight, and in case I see a good target of opportunity.

54. 5'11" 195, I still feel somewhat young, I have a wonderful family that keeps me active. Including a nine-year-old boy that is my littlest buddy. My older children are all blessings and keep me feeling young.
So far I've been blessed with good health, I run about 30 miles a week and stay very active hiking and getting outdoors as much as possible. I'm blessed to live in an area where I can get out on the mountains and enjoy hunting, hiking, fishing, camping and chilling out. This was passed to me from my Father, a great outdoorsman.
I will keep it going as long as my health lets me.
I'm very thankful.

An interesting thread for me and an amusing read as i just hit a milestone in life. I turned 30 a few months ago im 6'5" and 215lbs. As i take stock theres a little more bend in my back. My neck is sore more days than not and my wrist, elbow and shoulder are feeling the effects of hard core fly fishing for 10 or so springs. My hair is thinner and the winter weight doesnt come off as easily as it did last spring. But all things considered though, for a blueish collar guy making a living on my feet i feel pretty good. I still have the energy and ability to chase my son around on the back lot.
As a god fearing man i feel pretty fortunate looking at a few guys i graduated with who we've buried and a few who have been dealt a rougher hand than I.
Im excited to start the next chapter of my life with a career and the ability to head west to hunt and fish some country ive never set foot in. Lord knows im a lucky man

I will be 60 this year. Veryone tells me i look and move like someone in there 40's. I've been working out and lift heavy for my until I tore up my shoulder again last year. Before that I could bench my weight of 210lbs. Leg press 700lbs.
I've not been very kind to my body. With football, baseball, bull riding, guiding (including running a medium size high speed offshore fishing boat), car and motorcycle accidents. 9 confirmed concussions. Add to that, the list of body parts that have not required stitches is shorter than the list that has been sewn up! Right now I'm 3 1/2 year cancer-free. Something in my lower back makes my left foot feel like it has a sunburn when I'm sitting.
I'm getting ready to start back in the gym. I hope the shoulder healed without surgery again. I know the grim reaper and old age is sneaking up on me...so I'm going to do my best to make both have a hard time catching me!
