I’m a late in life hunter, just starting at the age of 46. I’ve been a target shooter and gun collector for many years and started with pellet guns as a kid. Fished since I was a kid too. Lived in SoCal all my 46 years and always wanted to hunt and I’m not getting any younger. And with all the gun control efforts lately, this is my way of rebelling against those who intend to decide how I should live. I also have 3 sons, who want to hunt. By exposing them to the the sport, I hope to instill the desire to carry on fighting for the freedom to hunt when they’re grown. I’ve also thought that with the way the economy is going, hunting might be a good way to put meat on the table.

Hi Daniel.

It’d be great to see the Bull Moose guys spread out around the country just so folks like you would have the advantage of this kind of organization.

In the meantime, other good options would be to get out to the shooting range or skeet club, or if you shoot archery, check out the local archery clubs. You’d be amazed how many people you can meet if your the slightest bit outgoing.

Another good choice is to do a search of online forums, particularly in your area. Most of the better forums have a lot to offer the newbie, as long as you’re respectful and don’t come off begging for information or hunting spots. Join the conversation, make no bones about your limited experience, and then start letting folks know why you’re there (to possibly pick up some tips and meet hunting buddies/mentors).

Good luck to ya! It can be tough to break into the sport, but it’s certainly not impossible.

I have wanted to hunt since I was a kid in suburbia and have managed to go on a bird hunt and a deer hunt (unsuccessful for me). So, this club sounds great to me. I haven’t done it more because I didn’t have the knowledge/experience of a dad, uncle, etc.

This is the article that brought it to my attention…

Thanks for all the comments… even you, MooseMan, and your shameless plug.

I’m glad to see all these “middle youth” hunters joining the ranks! Welcome to the madness!

I am also a later in life huntress. The assault weapons ban got me interested in shooting. A few years before that, my interest in fishing had reawakened, much to the consternation of my other half.
A couple of friends at work were always talking about bird hunting and I became curious. From there, it didn’t take long to find out that my being is more complete because I hunt.

That hasn’t made anything any easier.

Warning – Late start hunters can become obsessive.

I am personally warning all carnivores (those with canines) that it can be harmful to your Career if you pick up a gun or in my case a bow and start to hunt in middle life.

I have floated hunted over 2OO miles on the Sheenjek River in Alaska. Moose. Caribou, Wolves, and more

I spent 3 weeks on horse back hunting the great Northern Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. Moose Elk, Goats, Bears, etc. (my 50th birthday present to myself)

I quick a perfectly good career as an Geological Engineer.

I built Bear Mountain Lodge (a hunting estate) where Guest from all over the world come and hunt authentic (imported) Russian Boar into Michigan’s Wild & Scenic Upper Peninsula

Please be careful what you dream about! – It just might come true.

Find out if Hunting can change your life!

I have noticed this trend as well…..that more people are joining the hunting ranks later in life. It is interesting, and I’m curious as to why it is happening too.

I think it is great, though. I figure the more the merrier when it comes the passion that we all love so much.

And this Bull Moose Club sounds like one heck of an organization.
