Some may think we have it better, however I would give up the supposedly better rifles of today for the hunting he had.
30plus day trips into the back country for multiple animals. Moose, Sheep, Bear, Mt. Goats, Deer and more of them than most today can imagine. 30in Mule Deer were commonplace back in the 50s and early 60s. No complicated and restrictive drawing for tags. Private landowners that mostly welcomed one to hunt.
I'd trade that for any rifle, bullet and scope made today. Jack was right were he should of been. Doubt if he would trade it for what we have today.
