Remember when

[one eye joe]

Remember Herter's catalogs? I used to spend hours in it reading about their "worlds best" everything. Ordered quite a few cedar arrows from them. Never got a bow from them though. My eyes were always on the Bear Grizzly recurve.

Started with a little 25 lb. fiberglass bow then a root recurve in the seventies that would have been used longer if not stolen in the early eighties. She was long though,l.o.l..

Wow!------------talk about a trip down memory lane --- awesome stuff!
My first bow was a simple stick bow-- no shelf -- shot off the top bottom of my thumb -- then bought one of the first compounds in Colorado -- 4 wheel Jennings -- still have it ---umpteen vertical bows and demised critter since then -- now venturing into the world of horizontal shaft slingers --- oboy!
Thanks for the memories

Remember the first "Real Tree" camo! How about painted dots on the bow sights, no fiber optics.
Hoosiers, remember we had so many deer hunters in the early 80's that you had to sign up, and pay for a stamp for self addressed envelope to hopefully get drawn for opening weekend of gun season?
Remember Warren & Sweat had the best climbers on the market with Marine Plywood platforms!
Remember the waist band safety straps!
I still have a Browning Bush Master compound bow in Leaf camo!

Thanks for the trip back in time, would not change a thing!

[cevans]

Remember the black/grey treebark camo? I still have a gortex winter suit of that stuff that wears and is super warm and indestructible. Dang! Don't ever wear it much if any as I have all new camo anymore..lol.

[Waif]

Still have a tree bark insulated coverall. Greatest stuff, if you don,t move. l.o.l..
How bout every one needing a hot seat years ago? Noisy slippery brush catching things. Borrowed one a couple times and got cured.

I remember Herters & Outdoor Life wid Jack O'conner, Fur Fish & Game mag. Smelling the empty paper shotshells while hunting. Yes indeedy i do remember back then!

Remember the mail order surplus rifles advertised in the magazines? Some as cheap as 9.95 ? Remember when M1 carbines were cheap because nobody wanted one ? These times they are a changin'.

Remember the Baker climbing treestands. A V for the top climber and a V for the bottom stand. Lift the top and pull it up with your feet. A HUGE 12x15 inch platform and you better stand on the front part of the stand or down you go. Still can remember chatering up and down tree's with that stand. Ah, to be young.

Good times!

Remember when I was a kid in So. Il squirrel hunting in my grandpa's woods and a doe walked past me at about 10 yds. That was the 1st deer I ever saw at the farm. I was so excited I ran back to the house and told everyone what I had seen but no one really believed me. Now its nothing to see a dozen or more in the beans every evening.

I would but due to diligent body building my gut would get in the way and up would be a BIG problem.
