Ahhhh pooie, My traditions kentucky will spank swampmans inlines and traditionals, along with captchee's throw into the bunch!
could possibly do it bigblock. some of those traditions and old CVA kentuck�s shoot far better then folks give them credit for .
this is a photo of my mothers grandfather as a boy.
i was 20 when he passed over .
He was a traditionalist pure and true
What did that mean ??? well he followed the ways of our people as did my mother .
Did that mean they were less because they had adopted a Whiteman�s dress.
Lived in a house with four wall . Cooked with electricity , drove a car �..
That somehow they were less for it .
Did he dress this way when we hunted together when I was a boy . NO .
he didnt need to becouse he exsperianced what you play at for real
Does anyone here think there would be a need in order to teach a boy to be a hunter .
How about when instilling knowledge of the past ?
I look at things the same way .
a lot of my friends enjoy the buckskining level of traditional muzzleloading . While myself an other go deep in the research and authenticity . But does that mean I have less of an experience because they are along . ?? NO .
We have others who just like the rifles and gear . They come along on our trips and hunts wearing nothing but blue jeans .
Some also bring modern sleeping bags . some even carry modern cartradge guns .
thats ok .
Its their choice . Its their gear. They pack what they think they need .
and its allways fun when you get a chance to say ; seen it right off . guess you learned something from it .
. NONE that I know of have ever not came away with an experience . Nor has any failed to add to the enjoyment of the experience .
Be it fred in his nickers . Or Allen in his faided berry dyed corts . both well into thei 60's
Its about the individual experience . Its about constantly learning . Testing yourself
Some end up wanting more . Some don�t .
So while swampman may thump his chest and look down on fellas like those in my photo , claimin , not very Authentic
I wouldn�t trade that experience for anything .
It was very enjoyable and a very enlightening trip .
We all grew from the experience .
that folks is what its all about .
thats what folks like swampman will never get or understand . thats why they are here doing to you all what they have been shunned in other places for doing .
anyway you all have a good night
ohhhh and trust in swampman he knows the way , after all he says so
