Isn't it crazy? With all the "must have" stuff out there these days its a wonder we ever got any deer at all! Our secret honey holes weren't found by following a way point on our GPS. They were logged into our brain which didn't rely on batteries. Cell phones??? Shoot, most of the places I hunt today still don't have cell service. Range finders?? That tree is about 10 yards, so the deer must be about 20!! But it didn't matter because we shot our recurve bows so much it was like throwing a baseball. You just drew back and released - all by instinct.
And how about an ATV?! Holy crap, if you shot a deer way back in the boonies, sometimes it took 3+ hours to drag it out. I could go on and on. But that's just the way it was and we loved every minute of it.
