Not much of a story to tell: After many years one of us finally drew an Idaho rifle antelope tag, but given all the things my kids are involved in, we really only had opening day for her to get it done. This was the first buck that was willing to stand still within my wife's range that day...
I think my son was five when he reeled in this monster. Certainly a bold little trout considering the spinner and swivel are about as long as the fish is.
Kind of sad. I remember spending hours reading the master catalogs that came every six months or so.
I think for me the decline started when they went public about 15 years ago; they seemed more concerned about stock prices than keeping inventory. Then the final blow was when BPS took over...

I would like to buy a Rossi Matched Pair in .243/20 gauge. If anyone has one of these that they'd like to sell let me know and we'll see what we can work out.
I bought this in the fall of '17, and it turns out I'm not much of a vest wearer--haven't worn it the last two seasons. Still have the tags, and it looks brand new. $115 TYD lower 48.
Had my 12 year old out for the deer opener on Saurday with an antlerless tag in his pocket. ID let's youth hunt antlerless deer in certain units to increase the odds of notching a tag at a younger age. I quite like the program, and wish they had it when I was a kid. Anyway, like everything...
Bought a fly outfit to add another arrow to my quiver and landed this 21" rainbow on my first outing--the very definition of beginner's luck. Should have taken the wolly bugger out of her mouth so I could have posted it under the hashtag hittingdries like Hank Patterson says.
Also managed...
