I thought the same thing, lol.

As we have a guy in this general area that still hunts at 105. Climbs his own 20 Ft Tree Stand too with absolutely no help.

According to a Hunting Magazine he is known as the oldest Hunter in the US.

Is that just in the city, or Washington in general?

King County laws says I can shoot firearms if it can be done safely. I am pro-gun but even I would argue I can’t shoot safely without a lot of improvements.

That’s a very responsible attitude, which isn’t unfortunately shared by all. My lower acreage has a 6’ high berm all around it so I COULD do it safely, but our local law says I can’t legally even shoot my BB gun. Luckily I’ve never been much for rules! ;)
