[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5704168, member: 22496"] Once upon a time hunting was like this. You started the fall slipping into a grove of hickorynut trees and squirrel hunting, you took them home and skinned them then fried them in an iron skillet and ate them. Then you did it some more as the months went by, sometimes treed with dogs,sometimes sit hunting. September 1st at noon you went dove shooting and any other time you could find them till the season ended in January. If you could find a dove shoot you did that instead of deer hunting except for opening day of gun season. Bow season would open for deer and you shot a doe if you could,sometimes a young buck, rarely an older buck. Muzzleloader season opened for a week and maybe you killed a buck(no does) then, it closed and the next Saturday rabbit and quail season opened and you went rabbit or bird hunting. The duck hunters duck hunted and not much else except doves and some bird hunted too except most went deer hunting opening day of gun season and quit deer hunting after that weekend. Gun season opened right before Thanksgiving and it was a big deal for a week or so, you went opening day and the next day, Thanksgiving morning and that weekend then you went back to rabbit, bird, dove and squirrel hunting till January for the last 2 and February for rabbits and birds , sometimes you got drawn for a 2 day doe hunt the last weekend of the season and that was it. Some had traplines in the winter time. After that you went sauger fishing, maybe crappie fishing, there wasn't any turkeys to speak of so spring time was for fishing. Picture taking was for your own scrap book for remembering the fun times, no social media, no hero posts no sharing with the world. TV hunting consisted of Jimmy Holt on thursdays with an infrequent hunting clip and maybe the American Sportsman sometimes.

There was a whole lot more variety, little specialization and a whole lot less pressure to kill for ego and most of all,a whole lot more fun. [/QUOTE]
