Must be terrible
 

to have never used anything but electonics to call a predator.
If the batteries go dead, they're in real trouble.

Anything else of value to add? I feel bad for you big V, what riding horse to work and powering your fancy computer with a key and a kite...

Poor Ol Valentine...walked 3 miles to School in 2 feet of snow...up hill both ways! :D ;)

On a good day!!!! And used his only shoe laces to hold his book while doing so!!!

I admit walking
 

Walking back and forth some three miles from and to school; then walking about a mile and a half to deliver newspapers to homes for some school years, as an old fashion newspaper boy.

I well remember the ice skating in winter, when the winters were real cold.

I think all that walking was so I could carry a tree stand into and out of the woods when I got old.

I hear ya on the when the winters were really cold. Here in Illinois it used to worth the effort to have a snowmobile back then. In the past 15 years here in So. Il, it would not have been worth the cost of the insurance to even own one all together!!
And I am thinking that I am getting close to that unmagical age of packing a stand in and out everytime I hunt. :violin:

No need to lug a stand into the woods, you can buy on of those cabela hunting video games and do it from your easy chair!!

We are OLD Valentine....but I appreciate every day and all the hard earned money when I was a Kid,it built us Character and Appreciation for what we have!

I can say I didn't have near as bad as my Parents did when they we're growing up....but my Kids don't have it as bad as Me when I was growing up either. :D ;)

You mean you can buy a predator call that you don't need blow into? How do you get that reel to reel into the woods and power it?

Wasn't quite a reel to reel, but my first E-caller was a Johnny Stewart 400 RECORD PLAYER! Big, heavy, fuzzy sounding, and obviously vinyl isn't EVER happy when hot, cold, wet, dusty, you know, basically any conditions in which you might be calling coyotes.

BUT....

She'd bring coyotes to the gun...

SECOND BUT....

She sure wasn't as handy to use as the new E-callers out there... :poke:

I remember those callers. Crap I'm old too.:sad0064:

I use hand calls and my foxpro. I drive where I can and walk when I have too.

I also take extra batteries for my foxpro and a whole bunch of extra stuff for my truck.....I call it planning.

Don't feel old. I STILL have mine and use it once inawhile for crows for S&G's!!!!!!!!!!
