Mohall57... I am age 72 and know that an age/era is passing with each year that I live. Our older, experienced outdoor people are dying, new types of guns, a younger generation is different, it is more expensive to hunt( $2000 out of state Wyoming), can't get ammo or reloading supplies. It just goes on and on, all of these woes. Things have changed. However, I have my memories and I cherish the memories.
Exactly, hunting was our cheap entertainment.
No big expenses, just head out the door and up the mountain.
Luckily, I can still hunt this way .
I actually made money during hunting season working for the various outfitter's First with odd jobs, then cutting trail and setup. Finally as a Guide.
In my 20's we began travelling north for stone sheep, that was done on the cheap as well.
Hunting, fishing , hockey, ball and rodeo were cheap to pursue.
Oh yeah, and a Husky.270, spacemaster spotting scope and heavy10x 50 bins around my neck.
Anyone remember Trapper Nelson # 3 packboards?
