I was looking around a thrift store and came across a bunch of old VHS hunting tapes. I don't know why but I got them . They were between 15 and 20 years old. They actually worked
I watched a couple today and I noticed several things

1.compound bows looked pretty basic

2. The muzzleloaders were mostly Knights

3.the deer that everyone shot had much smaller racks than on the hunting shows now days.

Things have really changed , especially in the world of hunting shows

I have one of them early compound bows and I gave it to a kid who wanted to hunt bad but had no money. So I gave him a Browning Wasp Compound and four arrows. You'd of thought he won the lottery. Them old bows were simple compounds and had no where near the FPS of the new bows out there with their solo cams, and all the other gadgets.. but I killed a lot of deer with them.

Many years ago, we used to be happy just getting a deer with any kind of a rack. Now it seems every one wants an old mossy horn. I have some of them old hunting tapes but they are on Beta, and my Beta machine died a long time ago.

Yes times are a changing. Just the fact you have a VCR in this day of Blueray players says a lot. Beata, wonder if there is any one who can put those on a CD like some do with old super 8 movies.
Ya lots of things you hear at the sportsman club is how badly they want a huge 150 class rack before the season opens. Then after the season is open for a while you hear about the buying of 5 doe permits and pasing on the buck permit cause the does are still easier to harvest. Or settled on a little fork horn the second day cause I was cold and it was going to get colder as the month went along.
More excuses heard than bales of straw on a semi truck why they didn't hold out for that 150 class buck.
Nov 9th 2010 six days before the season opened. took till the 20th to see him again.
