You're an old hunter in Wisconsin if you remember when you could enter and hunt any private land that wasn't properly posted.
Which took away most of the land you could hunt in much of the state.

You're an old hunter in Wisconsin if you remember when you could enter and hunt any private land that wasn't properly posted. Idaho has a variation of that now. And then the state/DNR wonders about causes of hunting declining? Some might say, well just get permission to hunt private land. But try to find/contact the owner of much of this land when the owner doesn't live there. Or if you can contact the owner, get the usual explanation that the land is already hunted by a bow hunter who wants it all for himself. I like to hunt squirrels, and I also bow hunted for years, and most days, a bow hunter is likely to benefit from someone moving deer around. The legislature ought to revert back to what worked for the most hunters.

I know I'm old when I remember 4831 and 4895 were 50 cents a pound and were dipped from a wooden barrel and sold in a brown paper sack.
We didn't use a scale, just filled the '06 case up to the bottom of the shoulder and had at it. Well, I don't know but we all still have our eyes, fingers, a bunch of antlers.

Fascinating stuff here guys! Most of it is a little disappointing though, it really drives the point home about how [bleep] my generation is at about everything.

There were no one piece plastic shotgun wads....you used a nitro card wad and two felt wads and topped the shot with a over-shot wad and a roll crimp all in a paper case.
Hercules powders (Unique in my case) came in a nice square can.
Hodgdon 4831 was $1.98 a pound in oval paper and tin containers.
No blaze orange.
No commercial tree-stands at all, and I think tree stands were not legal in Wisconsin at one time?
4831 came in 50 pound cardboard drums, and we scooped what we wanted at $0.95/pound.
