Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters By 1912... ?

Stray Dog, yes. You are right.

It was crowded and over hunted.The draw has helped Colorado...I stopped going there (after killing a 200+ mule deer), for the reasons you stated.Guess I hit it right or something in those years....Today it's a better place to draw a tag for sure. The quality bucks are there.

What I did was shift locations to other states and provinces. In the helter skelter of scheduling hunts I had to leave some tags on the table in the process, but I would hate to have to duplicate it all today.....I still have no patience for draws,and doubt I could afford to do it all again.

After reading the OP my first thought was 1935 and the Swift.In SW GA with the exception of whitetails the late 50's and 60's were the golden years for quail and dove. I was the retriever with a BB gun and have picked up 50+ dove on good days. very best winpoor

The best times were the 1970s. The birth control pill was generally available, AIDS had not yet been imported, and I was 25-35 years old. :-)

And Missouri was a great place to hunt quail, while Nebraska had pheasants in great number.

What can we do now that we couldn't do in 1912? Spend more money to buy new calibers with imaginary capabilities.

The calibers you list will suffice for anything on this planet.
