Default RE: Any old school deerhunters?

I know plenty of Ole Timers who hunt in the old wool jackets and pants, they kick the leaves up by a big tree or sit on a stump drinking coffee and smoking a cigar or cigarette. I have also seen them drag some monsters out of the woods too. I have fond memories of being at Deer camp with the ole timers watching them play poker, drinking beer, cussing, farting and having fun like many at camp do today. Who knows? I used to kill turkeys when I was a kid by calling them by mouth wearing jeans and a flannel shirt, no head net and gloves. Scentlok? My scentlok is standing in the dairy barn for 15 minutes to get the farm smell on me. I have had more deer walk so close I could knock em over the head with the barrel. Most of the ole timers would laugh at the fact of using scentlok. I still have my hand me down Marlin 30AS that has killed quite a few Deer. I have shot nice bucks but I am no horn hunter either. One of the memories that I have from one of the ole timers is a quote that I'm sure you have all heard " You can boil them horns all you want but it will never make any soup". I am a meat hunter and nothing more. So to answer your question...I'm not old school all to much but I will always remember what they taught me....Respect the game, the land and your fellow hunter and have fun at camp because it only comes once a year.
