I remember when:

[Bigjay73]

I remember being the ONLY applicant for Idaho's first ever archery only mountain goat hunt.....about 1962 (before compounds). There were 10 permits offered.

This made me cry

Hunting mule deer bucks on public land, 20 miles from Bozeman in the 60’s with my father. Seeing mature bucks in every drainage, and never crossing another boot print, or hearing a shot…

Shooting arrows straight up in the air and trying to decide whether to stand there or run like hell…..put an arrow right through a buddies camp roof once

 

[MS 9x56]

People used to allow hunters on their property without charge.

 

[Phaseolus]

Skate boarding Rabbit Ears Pass under the full moon once or twice a month in the summer, I’m fortunate that I only broke my collar bone once. Our hydration beverage was beer and our protective gear was a jean jacket.

Dangerous archer!
My "foofoo" arrows have big feathers and blunt tips, fly more slowly. So I would shoot them up above the trees and then the grandkids would run around and try to find them.
Nobody got hit or hurt. But LAWN DARTS are a game of perilous risk ... especially with wild grandkids flinging them around!

Ahh, yes….Lawn Darts! How did/do we survive with those things flying around.

Oh lighten up. This is the extent of my complaining on HT regarding this subject.

I grew up in a border town. I do miss the days when we could travel and visit family back and forth, freely. Crossing the border for cheap milk, beer or gas. Simpler times going camping in Vermont, Maine and NH.

Those places are ok, but Ontario is truly a North American treasure to the USA.
