It's amazing that anybody even ever got a shot at anything "back in the day";):D

You have no idea how it was.

If you care to give it a try.

Here is what you need/don't need.

Recurve bowLaminated not fiberglass
Maybe 160 FPS
Cedar arrows/Turkey fletched/6"
Glue on Super Hilbray BH / Hand sharpened
Finger tab
Leather boots/ NO Gortex
WWII wool fatigues
No CamoBurnt Cork face paint OK
No metal standsclimber or ladder
no scent shield/ camp fire smoke OK
Camel or Lucky Strike cigarettes OK/ everybody smoked
1/4 of the amount of deer we have today
No Google - To find out info, you had to KNOW somebody and call them on the phone.
No trail cam
No Ariel photo's
No GPS
No trail timer
No Interstate system
No 4 wheeler
No pro-shop
You could call Bear Archery and speak to Fred.
WMA's /Nope
Seven day season
Nothing made of plastic

Seems, this is what it was like in 1964 when I got my first deer.

And you know what..the guys 10 years older are saying you were spoiled..cuz you didn't have to whittle arrows or make your own bow from a tree limb and on and on the cycle goes.

Nope. You've just seen real-world experience from two of the guys who probably put in more time in a treestand than 99% of anyone else on this forum...

105424 members leaves 1054 members in that 1%....yeah, that leaves room for me, GregH, AP, etc..ect. ;)

Thanks for clearing up the math..

;)

Luckily I'm off my pain meds or those numbers could have been much different. [8D]

Hard cast goes on Wednesday. [&:]

RE: Rubber boots, do you buy it??

I wear rubbers! ~boots that is

I wear RedHead BuckStalkers and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased...including more comfortable than most sneakers. They were like $60 at Gander Mountain, they are camo, rubber (scent free) and provide great traction.

RE: Rubber boots, do you buy it??

I use rubber boots on every hunt. I don't know if they help but I do.

Now, now... let's not go overboard. We had plastic nocks on our wood arrows. You do remember the old Mercury Speed Nocks don'tcha. :D

RE: Rubber boots, do you buy it??

Ive used rubber boots for years and will not go into my hunting area with out them.I do not wear them untill I get to my hunting spot .I spray them down after I put them on and take them off when I return to my truck.Now that they make them insulated with 1500 grams+of insulation I can wear them all season. I have my older pair of uninsulated ones I use for early season and turkey hunting.

RE: Rubber boots, do you buy it??

I knew you'd run the numbers on that buddy... ;)Your season's too short out there to make it to the .01 % group! :D

RE: Rubber boots, do you buy it??

Can you smell rubber? So can a deer. I just spray my nylon/rubber soled boots with scent killer spray.

RE: Rubber boots, do you buy it??

Rubber boots for me!
