And as Allen says, I don't have but a couple of pictures of my Dad hunting or in hunting garb, but I certainly do have the memories!
Dad wasn't a bird hunter but enjoyed deer hunting with his pals in Vermont. I was invited to deer camp with them in about '61 or '62 and have been going back as often an I can.
I hunt grouse, woodcock, turkeys, and deer from that same camp to this day, hosted by the same family Dad was introduced to back in '53. They're all gone and now I'm the old man in camp these days.
