[QUOTE="spur necklace 3, post: 5245993, member: 11475"] Started in the mid 90’s but everything was very different even at that time. Remember using the clear hand warmers where I believe you pushed a metal button and they released a white liquid into the clear liquid. Got hot as hell if I recall but didn’t last long. First trail cameras came along and we all made abunch of money for the film developers, sometimes getting back an envelope of nothing but leaf and squirrel pics. Still have all of those pics. Never would have bet any amount of money that 30 years later there would be cameras that could instantly send a pic of a passing deer to a small handheld phone that would allow you to talk or text from anywhere with a signal. One of our local check stations took Polaroid pics of all the bucks and turkeys they checked in. For you millennials that was a box looking camera that automatically spit out the picture below it. Everyone would always stop in to see the pics on the wall. Also recall listening to other hunters on the 2 way radios before cell phones came along. Agree with everyone about all the bundling up we used to do. I looked more like the Michelin man or ralphie’s little brother on a Christmas story because the clothes just weren’t very advanced with how warm they kept you so to compensate we just wore more clothes. Even though I don’t shoot near as many deer as back then and only try to shoot bigger deer, still often get the shakes when any deer gets close. Especially after shooting anything with a bow. Even though he said it about turkeys, like tom Kelly said, the day I stop shaking and breathing heavy I’m of no use to anyone or anything anymore. [/QUOTE]
