Phil and the rest ,this is fantastic ! I'll have to see what pics I can find ....though my beginning years were in the early 80's we were behind you guys in most every way ,field and stream was about the only magazine that you could get that was hunting related and my brother had a subscription to that , a big deal in itself ....friends would come over just to see those .
we went to the local corner store with a gun draped over my shoulder many times after school,to pick up a little lunch ,we basically hunted out the back door ,I shot grouse and had snares where my house stands today...my first introduction to stockwork was an article in an old f&s, I was instantly enthralled and been trying to learn it ever since .
All the kids I grew up with hunted and fished ,to be honest I think its just me left ,there's guys that will go if I call them but it will be the only time they'll go all season ...I don't understand ,the Newfoundland outdoors can be disheartening at times (just ask Brian Hornacek ) but I've never lost the interest or passion, these day's I could care less about killing something ,though I do get pissed about letting the dogs down when I got shit in my eyes ! to me it's just to get out and walk breath in the cool air ,I shoot big Moose not for the horns but fore the amount of meat ,the two go hand in hand ...And Dean if you think and sawing a deer down the spine is tough try a moose ,we still do it that way ....damned if I know why
It seems I could wax poetic about this forever ,but I'll leave it at this
.
Great thread guy's keep it coming !
