The glasses sound like a great idea!

My first bow, a Browning Bushmaster! What a toy,especially compared to today's bows.

I remember when
getting permission to bowhunt was pretty easy.
buying a dozen new arrows and almost all of them were straight(aluminum)
hunting on public land and hardly seeing anyone
shooting fingers instead of a release
using 40% and 50% letoff compound bows, even had a 25% letoff one
using sights without pin guards
Trebark was all the rage in camo
not seeing a deer sometimes after a hunt, now I am disappointed when I don't see any every time out.
And...............I remember when I used to remember more.[&:]

who remembers the T pins???

Remember them, I still have my old Golden Eagle Pro Turbo with an overdraw and TM Hunter rest and aCobra site with T Pins on it. They were the hotness back in the day.

Ten years from now after all of the whitetail commercialization dies down and the fair weather bowhunters disappear all of us die hards will be saying "Man remember when all of those d-bags were running around the woods playing hunter." I'm actually looking forward to that.

I hunted for whitetails for the first time in 2005 with a Mathews Switchback.

If it gets any easier than it is, now.....I won't do it. I'm blessed with good populations....but I'm already seeking new challenges with the bow. Maybe a Pronghorn? Elk? The turkey is a worthy adversary......but I'm not sure the season's long enough for me to keep me SUPER interested in hunting only them.

I'm gonna get a longbow/recurve and try my hand at that when I get the herd in control, here.

I change my mind about which animals to pursue with every few weeks it seems. I'll be glad when I narrow it down to one true passion (animal to pursue).......or ....maybe not.

I see the loss of private hunting land in my area. I believe public land may be next big thing for me. And I have started to video some hunts. That is a major change from just hunting.

I started at age 3 in 1955, 13 years before Allen patented the compound archery device. Killed my first hog at age 10. Weren't any huntable deer around in my neck of the woods back then.

I can't count the changes I've been witness to. Some I like. Some I detest. Some are, I think, absolutely stupid.

I had an old Pearson bow that had t-pins on it. Thank God time have changed.

Ahigh fence that let the deer in and out, but still kept out dogs and tresspassers would be nice.

Or a supplemental feed that squirrels, turkeys and hogs wouldn't touch...maybe something that specifically targeted horn growth...but we are getting there already.

How about chameleon camoflauge....something that recognises the patterns and colors of whats behind you and projects it to the front. If they can put a million mirrors on a tiny square for an HD TV...then they can do it to a hunting garment too...

I also want a blue lumenock.
