Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Remember When?

That’s alright.

You just seem dumber than normal and I’m a little worried.

That's funny, I was thinkin' the same about you. But then I thought, nah, that just ain't possible, he's obviously still breathing.

Did you get your $600?

I'm pretty sure these are from the mid 70s, don't know what I paid. We would rabbit hunt at night on a property that had half a section of watermelons, a date orchard and citrus orchard, plus old lumber and farm trash, an irrigation tailing pond with bullfrogs we'd gig...

we once found someone's stash of girly magazines in the citrus grove...

Anyway, I had an old savage single shot I was deadly with, a twenty rabbit night was fun until you got home and had to skin them all.

If not in town we could buy basic 22 or shotgun ammo at the small country store. Probably bought these at Smitty's bigtown, bought my first new gun there, an 870 wingmaster for 169.00, '75.

PS, there's 39 left in that box...

We bought thunderbolts for $8 a brick in early 2020. $5 bricks in the 90’s doesn’t seem impossible. In the 90’s in CA grandpa bought federal bulk 525 or 550’s. Can’t remember which for $6 a pop. Gave them away to anyone who would come shoot ground squirrels.
