Q:
What is your age? After Clay Cooper thought I was a young buck (HA HA!), I got to thinking about the age of some of the regulars on the Gun Nut blog. Some of you have revealed your age by various means, some not. So, what is your real age, if you don't mind answering honestly. I have made a list of the regulars and what I think their ages are. I'll post that after soem of you answer. This is not a trick question!
Question by WA Mtnhunter. Uploaded on August 21, 2009
Answers (129)
I predict you/we will be surprised how old a lot of us are, after all it is a "graying" demographic.
I am mid-50's
I might be surprised, but I had you down for 50! Most of my guesses are way up there, so we'll see. I just wrote down 28 names of the blogs of recent regulars. Hope everyone is honest! For the record I am 59 going on 39!
Hey, You ask us how old we are, and don't fessup yourself! I am 71 still getting around. Also enjoying all of your company. Kindest Regards
I just hit the 1/2 century mark but I'm young at heart.
36 years old. receding hairline. expanding belly.
I am 14 and hopefully ill be able to keep it up as long as you guys.
I'm a young 38.
25 and turing 26 in Nov.
Getting married next month and I'm going to miss opening day of archery season because i'm goin to be on a honeymoon in Key West, FL. It sucks growing up!
i am 39 very soon to be 40
I'm 61 and staring a birthday square in the eye. I think that this is going to be fun.
I'm 61 with a 52 year old wife of 33 years, a 26 year old daughter, an 18 year old son, and a 7 year old daughter. It's a long story.
My guesses so far were in name- age guess/confessed age order:
ElmerFudd 50/55
Happy Miles 65/71
007 55/50
cooner 35/40
micropterus 30/25
libertyfirst 50/65
steve182 30/38
Sorry minigunner111, I did not have a guess down for you, but thanks for the reply. Nice looking dog in your avatar!
ishawooa
Hit yours right on the head at 61! LOL
Woops, 'libertyfirst' is 61 not 65, sorry!
24 years
WMH, originally i would've thought you a 40something but in some more recent posts i've seen references that suggested otherwise. Good post though.
Old enough to know better! 58. You should have pegged it pretty close from the Fort Polk, LA. answer. Like your style.
14, Do I win???
23, and still truckin' along like I used to back in the good old days. haha
I have 23 years experience at being 23 years old.
HHAAA!
YYYOOOOO!!!
OOLLLLDDDD!!!!!
FFFAAAAAARRRTTTTT!!!
HA HA!
B)
I'm 58 and counting.
Am I still missing something here? WA Mtn hunter you still have not told us how old you are. Course, at my age I have forgotten the question.
Clay,
Was that post an eye chart for your driving exam? Kindest Regards my friend. Hey how old are you?
Happy Miles,
Clay already forgot the question! he was busy chasing range monkeys.
59 going on 39! Seriously, 59.
crm30-06
Missed you by a couple. I figured you about my age so I guessed 60.
38 going on 22
I tend to forget that detail, so normally have to figure it out. Since my avatar is a Japanese hunting badge, Kanagawa Prefecture, from 1958, the year I was born (in case you missed that post way back when) ... that would be 51.
And, we're still waiting for an answer to Happy Miles' question. We're not getting any younger, you know.
Well I just had my 22nd birthday last week.
MLH
What question?
Happy ... Not sure what you're referring to.
40 going on 41.....do I need to show you ID for this beer????
I'll be hitting 65 in a few days. I will probably retire in another twelve or fourteen years.
MLH
Me neither. Just a feeble attempt at a joke. All the best.
Happy - yes, I got that. Me, too. Hope you're about back to normal.
country road.
My birthday is August 30. Can't retire, too many family members would have to go to work if I did.
31
How did I miss this thread?
I just had a birthday and thought I was turning 56 years old,July 24th.
Well ...my wife informs me that I turned 57 years old,I refuse to get any older.
I still run with the fast dogs!
Good thread WA Mtnhunter!
I am 27 and already missing my college days when I could just pick up and go on and outdoor adventure without any realy responsibilities to worry about.
15 and 1 month.
I figure with future technologies and my eating healthy natural foods like venison I wouldn't put it past me living about 150 and I'll be hunting and fishing to the day I die.
Hell yeah, if I retired there would be 2.7 illegal immigrant families cut off from SS and free medical. Can't let that happen! LOL
Probably not on thelist but im 19
BamaCreekBum
Your's was a gimme since you posted recently that you just graduated!
Hey Happy Myles!
How did you know that was an eye chart!
NO JOKE!
I just had an eye exam and those eye drops that dilate your eyes makes things kinda fuzzy!
Just a penny short of a double nickel going on 18!
WA Mtnhunter

If i did not put your name on the list, there was no slight intended even if you are a regular blogger. I'll upate my guesses as more replies are received.
No Alex, there is no prize!
sgaredneck - you haven't been showing I.D. to buy beer since you were 12 ! LOL
Woops again. I missed Clay on the list so I had him down for 58. He's 55! Just a young 'un....
WA Mtnhunter: you better reread the entire posting as it appears that maybe you overlooked a few things.
Happy: somehow I get the impression that you never missed very much in your entire life...
Dammit I'm older than Clay, is that like being older than dirt?
No offence intended Clay just a poor effort to be coincidentally humourous...
If you are older than Clay, you are indeed older than Methuselah!
Corrections:
ishawooa 61/61 (nailed ya)
Clay Cooper 58/54 (almost 55)
libertyfirst 50/61
WA Mtnhunter 39/59 (cast iron stud)
....just goes to show how progressive we really are here in S. GA. Actually, in all truthfulness I.D. is not needed for 'shine. :P Salut!
WA Mtnhunter,
It is not polite to fart dust....plese refrain.
I think the term is 'crop dust' LMAO
You guys are too much fun!
I'm just an old transplanted Alabama redneck and usually darn proud of it!
I'm 15 ,and a half.
Outdoor life looks like the county morgue!
Perhaps we need to go over and liven things up with another XB debate! LMAO!
Remember the one from last year, surprised nobody didn't get shot!
16 turning 17 in November
I'm 61 and celebrating my 40th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks.
Congrats Dakotaman. I'm approaching my uh....23rd? anniversery. Heck, I've been married exactly 1/2 of my life.
I'm really surprised a lot of you guys are much older than I would have guessed. You've made even me feel young again.
Alex, You've been 14 for a couple years now. I'm getting suspicious.
I'm 16...
not on the list but im turning 16 in feb
007,
Please don't use the term half-century mark again. Damn, I'm near 20% past that!
Well i am not on the list but i am 14 and i pretty sure Wa said he was 59 going on 39 wether that is his real age i dont know but its a start.

Reid and hjohn, 14, 13.
Going to celebrate my 39 birthday for the 27th time.
I'll be 38 in December. Married for 18 years come Febuary, and have 4 Kids ranging in age from 16 to 5
Turned 30 in July
I am 20 going to be 21 in September, getting my concielled carry permit, ohhh yeah.
Checking in at 62, with an ambition to be 63! Good work, Steve.
44 years old july 3 still a pup in my hunting party
17 and hoping ill be around as long as you guys have been.
well 18 next month,and itchin to ship out.
I am 59 and will be 60 in November, no BS. I think crm3006 and I were at Fort Polk , LA in 1969-70 and Del and I were at Ft. Benning, GA just after that time.
I just can't believe crusty ol' NCO Clay Cooper is younger than me!
Keep up the answers and I will post the rest of my guesses on Monday since I left my handwritten list at work.
BTW, I'm glad we have so many young hunters and shooters on the blog. you guys are the future of the sport and defenders of our rights! But you need to get more young ladies into the shooting sports.
WA Mtnhunter-
What dates were you at Benning? I think we were there at the same time also. I was there Dec 69-Apr 70.
I was born 15 years ago. (I guess that makes me 15 years old.)
well i am the big 21. glad to see the older and younger generations sharing opinions and expirences
WA Mtnhunter, I suggest to restate the question, a new version, so we catch up on some who won't see it now
Your guessing is good, I think they have a job for you at the county fair [g]
washington mountian hunter
you can bet us youngsters wish there were more girls here too.
You guys have been busy while I was working. Del in KS is 59 with no grey hair, no baldness, and no glasses. My son is a 30 year old Chemical Engineer and my daughter is a 31 year old teacher (yes I'm bragging because their mine). My grandaughter is an 11 month old model (for my avatar) heehee.
1968 model American, still runs reasonably well despite hard miles on chassis. Some body work needed, no rust but some dings and scratches. Starts a little slow in the morning but still runs all day.
crm3006
Airborne training in May 1970, then again in 1972-74, then again in 1977-1978.

Yessir, I'll repost Monday since I left my "guesses" on my desk at work.
Cheers
31 years now finally old enought to sit at the grown ups table at christmas, but i usually don't anyway.
Missed you by a month. Airborne school Dec.
Scout Dog school Jan-Apr.
RVN-Apr 70-Mar 71.
A dear friend said she knew more people in the cemetery than outside of it. The sad thing is she was my first girlfriend.
Alex, I've got socks that are older than you and some of the other young folks.
Alex, I've got socks that are older than you and some of the other young folks.
theres not a lot of young girls in the sport i saw one today maybe 12 shooting, one of my ex-girlfriends dad was getting her into hunting havnt talked to her since then though and then a girl at a gun club i go to is always there hunting when i am about the same age other then that i know of none
A woman went to a dentist. She recognized his name as an athletic boy she remembered from high school. But when she looked at this gray, balding, middle-aged, pudgy man, she thought he had to be much older than herself. But she asked anyway, "Did you go to Central High School?"
"Why, yes. How did you know?"
"I think we were there at the same time."
"Really," he said, as he carefully looked her over, "Which class did you teach?"
I'm 39 years old and will 40 next year on may!!!
