No camo, no modern basewear, no iphone, and only a compass to take him out of those woods. And he still has a wool sweater more than forty years old, that still fits. He doesn't believe in those modern genies, like thirty year olds do.
Try to get a thirty year old hunter to believe that. And believe the old guys feet still work.
I am sure you have a lot of good knowledge under your belt that will not require a guy to refinance his home in order to get into the sport. Maybe this forum could use a section where guys like you could post all your age-old tips and tricks. These are tough economic times for everyone these days and we could use some advice on how to hunt without breaking the bank.
