I remember when:

[mtmuley]

I remember when you had to order your topographical maps from the USGS through the snail male.

And apply for and receive tags that way. mtmuley

 

[Letthemgrow]

Using a Rolodex

 

[Potsie]

I never had years with elk tags when I should have but definitely wish I had a couple times for deer

I have a very specific painful memory of popping a doe because it was Thanksgiving weekend and still had a deer tag - just to watch a 160"+ buck stand up in the brush.

No 2nd tag. Painful. Very, very painful.

 

[el unit]

Ft Collins had The Hamburger Stand and Debbie Duz Donuts.

 

[Phaseolus]

I remember in the early 80’s when bulls would run in to a bugle during archery season. First time I tried calling I nearly got run over.

You get used to it...

 

[Southern Elk]

The only camo we had was military surplus. Jeans and flannel before that.

 

[Goodfish]

I remember hand marking and stamping 6-10 copies of construction submittals. Then driving like heck for USPS, FedX or UPS depending on what time it was so you could still get them on the outgoing mail to the architect. There was no overnight delivery and no email!

 

[Addicting]

Blazing Saddles was a normal family TV movie.

Hunting in denim wasn't imminent death

Hunting in denim wasn't imminent death

Shit, I've skied in Levi's. Brand new ones left a blue streak on the snow. mtmuley

 

[Steiny77]

Our high school had an outside smoking area for students and teachers to use.
$0.39 / gal gasoline, drive around all night on $5-10.00 and everything got sh#tty mileage.
Sold racoon pelts for $35.
The Baker climbing tree stand / death trap.
Unless you were a military vet and got one overseas, tattoos were considered trashy.
Couldn't wear tennis shoes to school, they were for gym class only.

 

[Treeshark]

Sold racoon pelts for $35.

Man, if only that would come back some day.

 

[Schutzhund]

Bag phones in the work truck and they barely got a signal. Changing channels on the TV with a knob between UHF and VHF channels. Then tweeking the rabbit ears so we could watch hogan's heroes.

 

[Nick87]

Sold racoon pelts for $35.

That was $35 then, huge difference.

 

[F250]

3 pack of 16 oz. PBR’s $0.90. Pick up one on my way to the barn after class. Drinking age was 18, but i was tall for 16

 

[Dougfirtree]

Seems crazy, but I remember being a teenager, in New York, and never having seen a wild turkey. I think I was 18 the first time I saw one.

 

[Nick87]

I remember when my night used to start long after it ends now.

 

[Wallydeuce]

I remember telling the operator who you wanted to talk to.
The town 10 miles away was a long distance call.
TV repair man.
Showing your friends and teachers your new gun at school.
The back seat of a car was roomy.
Picking up an elk archery tag on the way to an archery deer hunt.

I could go on for hours but there isn't enough INK...

 

[Nick87]

In my household you only forgot this once.......

Still the same in mine for my kids, big pet peeve of mine.
