41st gun season opening day

43 seasons for me. First Deer I harvested was with a Remington Model 1100 12 gauge.

 

you guys are telling your age lol,i remember catching table on fire opening day with the old jon-e hand warmer,lighter fluid all over it,lit that baby and everything was in flames lol

 

Single shot ivory Johnson 20 gauge and if you seen a deer it was like winning the lottery and it was buck only!!

 

U had a phone? I thought it was an upgrade going fron pony express to telegraph.

 

Glad you guys are still at it i been at it over 50 years but couldnt make it this morning been sick since august hopefully maybe get to go this afternoon 1st gun was a sears and robuck 410 bolt action as for the phone we were on a party line with 4 other people you could pick it up and listen to other people which was very annoying because sometimes when you needed it someone was on it you had to listen to how many times it rang to see if it was for you ours was 2 rings if it was 1 or 3 or 4 it was for someone else i still think as far as hunting goes it was more fun back then not many deer and you were happy with what ever buck you got early on was no doe season for here i wish you guys the best of luck and enjoy

 

rotary phone with the party line,people could listen in on you,you could listen in on them.You couldnt call if they were on the phone,good times lol

 

I miss hunting camps,check stations,older hunting buddys,I have lost

 

You still have the 410?? Would love to see pics of it my brother has are dads old single shot sears robuck 22 great gun killed many squirrels and rabbits with it!!

 

I got it it is over at one of my friends in a safe or supposed to be anyway gave 5 dollars for it lol didnt have a front sight my grandad put a piece of copper wire in for sight i dont have a safe all my guns are over there years ago didnt need a safe you could leave guns in a wood in a wood case i remember everybody had them when you went in the house you could just walk up and admire them folks were proud of their guns nowdays a safe is a must

 

46 years here. Took my 1st buck in 1975 with a Marlin lever action 30-30. He was a 5 pt that I had missed the day before with my Bear recurve. There were less than 4000 deer taken in the entire state that year.

 

This is a pic of a pic lol this is me and the 410 you really cant tell anything about tho
