We'll all come to this stage of life sooner or later. My brother is 80 years old and in good health. He still shoots and hunts, but much less than 30 years ago; probably 20% of what he used to do. Seems mostly tired. He owns 40-50 guns, many thousand rounds of ammo, reloading components and equipment, dozens of taxidermied heads and tanned hides. An amazing collection. For the past year he has asked me to help him sell some of his stuff. I have a broad network of hunting and shooting friends so selling stuff has become my way of helping him. His kids and grandkids have little interest in guns and hunting so he'll not be leaving much to his kids other than money. I'm 70 years old and not that far away from these tough decisions myself. My purpose in writing this is to encourage everyone to start this process sooner rather than later. I have another friend who has 100s of guns and gun related products...rooms full. He is 82 and in poor health. He waited too long in my judgement. Now each decision is a tough one. I'm helping him too. I am hoping to start a dialogue to share stories about how one decides these things. Everyone's situation is different, but when you read enough stories, some good ideas begin to emerge. My other reason for this thread is that I had a recent health scare and these things are on my mind, so I have selfish reasons for asking for your thoughts. I know this issue has come up on this forum before, but here we are again. I'll appreciate your thoughts
