I guess I'm old.
Paper shotgun shells were standard and the plastic hulls hadn't even come out.
Scopes were newfangled items and hunters debated about whether to get one or not.
Tree stands were "discovered" and came into use well into my hunting life, and everyone in the east seemed to change from still hunting to tree standing.
Whitetail scrapes were "discovered" by the hunting mags well into my hunting life.
No one jigged for salmon.
The Mitchell 300 spinning reel was the new fangled way of the future but nobody in my teenage fishing group could afford one at $20.00.
The compound bow was a new and weird device that came on the scene well into my hunting career. I talked to Jennings several times at his shop in California about his strange new bow but wound up buying a Bear Grizzly - couldn't afford the Kodiak Magnum!
Killed my first archery deer with a Lemonwood bow and cedar arrows. Aluminum and then fiberglass arrows were just coming in.
