Do you remember those so called insulated boots? The green rubber ones. How cold my feet use to get!
You were'nt a hunter either unless you had a Red Plaid Woolrich coat!
Only guys with money had scopes on their guns,a straight 2 1/2 or 4 power on a 30-06! We had 30-30's or a 32 special lever action! No scopes, but those guys sure could shoot! When they fired their guns the buck was down!
It was nothing to see 1 or 2 of them with black eyes,on Monday,the first day of Buck,from going to a dance on Satuday night! In those days,men were men and only used a gun for hunting!
When i got older,i started to work in the deep mines. As luck would have it my boss use to own a bar where my clan had gone to years back. He ask if i were one of them and i said yes. Man,he says,one New Years Eve,that crew was there and some one touched one of the ladies and out side they went!!!! There was snow in the parking lot,my boss goes on,like 10 people in the lot going at it!!!! The next morning,he says,it looked like some one butcherd a pig there!!!!! But,they all came back in,sort of buggered up,but were back to haveing fun,all of them?
They all got older,before i was old enough to go with them,thank god for that!
Yep,we stayed at Granpaps sunday night and got up to go meet the clan. As you may know,the first day of deer season is a Pa. holiday from school.
Wow,if you could just take some of these kids back amd show them what a good time and a good hunt was!
