I cant say I ever experienced "the days", but look forward to seeing how things will change(hopefully in a goodway)when I look back in another 20yrs. But I sure as heck hope I dont look backat a $1000 dollar bow and say"man those were the days"lolSometimes I wish I could go back and almost watch my dad hunt as if it was on a home video. He used to go to Vermont with his dad and his brother when they were 12. They would get dropped off at the top of a mtn by themselves and were picked up at the same spot at dark. Everyman for himself.lolMy dad only saw 1 deer in 5 yrs of hunting. They only wore flannels, blue jeans and cotton socks(w/ leather boots of course). And I complain that I'm cold yet I wear thinsulate, polypropalene, wool base layers.lol Till this day my dad said, even though he never saw much, it was some of the best times hunting hes had.(besides the times w/ me of course)
